The nose reveals intense, clean, pleasing and elegant aromas which start with nuances of black cherry, blueberry and vanilla followed by pleasing aromas of plum, black currant, violet and licorice as well as good hints of cocoa and tobacco. In the mouth has good correspondence to the nose, a slightly tannic attack however well balanced by alcohol, good body and intense flavors.
