Intense ruby red colour. Powerful aromas on the nose, clean, pleasant, elegant, opening with reminescence of blackberry, blackcherry and violet followed by plum, blueberry, vanilla, pink pepper, tobacco, chocolate, cinnamon and mint. The aromas are confirmed on the palate: tannic but balanced by the alcohol, full body, intense flavours, very pleasant.
