Score: ✧✧✧✧✧ |
 Intense ruby red and nuances of garnet red, little transparency.
 Intense, clean, pleasing, refined and elegant, starts with hints of black cherry, plum and black currant followed by aromas of dried violet, dried rose, carnation, peony, blueberry, blackberry, chocolate, tobacco, cinnamon, mace, vanilla and menthol.
 Properly tannic attack and however balanced by alcohol, full body, intense flavors, agreeable.
 Very persistent finish with long flavors of black cherry, plum and black currant.
 12 months in barrique, 6 months in bottle.
