Score: ✧✧✧✧✧ |
Brilliant ruby red and nuances of garnet red, little transparency.
Intense, clean, pleasing, refined and elegant, starts with hints of plum, black currant and dried violet followed by aromas of black cherry, blueberry, peony, iris, cigar box, chocolate, green bean, cinnamon, tobacco, licorice, vanilla and eucalyptus.
Tannic attack and however balanced by alcohol, full body, intense flavors, agreeable.
Very persistent finish with long flavors of plum, black currant and black cherry.
24 months in barrique, 18 months in bottle.
