TASTING NOTES
Dark cherry-red colour.
In the nose it is very aromatic and elegant, with tones of ripe fruit, fine spices, minerals, truffle, coffee and tea.
In the mouth it is very well-structured, and balanced, with good body, but at the same time with great finesse, very velvety, really expressive and elegant. It is very long, and with an aftertaste of ripe fruit.
