The nose reveals personality with intense, clean, pleasing, refined and elegant aromas of black cherry, blueberry, plum, black currant and violet followed by good and intense aromas of cocoa, coffee, leather, eucalyptus, licorice and vanilla. In the mouth has excellent correspondence to the nose, a tannic attack however well balanced by alcohol, full body, intense flavors.
