The nose denotes intense, clean and pleasing aromas which start with hints of cherry and plum followed by aromas of blueberry, blackberry, cyclamen, carob and vanilla. The mouth has good correspondence to the nose, a slightly tannic attack and however balanced by alcohol, good body, intense flavors. The finish is persistent with flavors of cherry and plum.
