tobacco, bell pepper, black pepper, lavender, cocoa, cinnamon and menthol.
The mouth has very good correspondence to the nose, a tannic attack and
good roundness, however balanced by alcohol, full body, intense flavors,
good tannins, agreeable. The finish is very persistent with long flavors of
black currant, black cherry, plum and blueberry. A well made wine. Akronte
