Nose and mouth
The nose is elegant and complex, offering aromas of ripe black fruits such as cassis and blackberry, accompanied by notes of violet, cedar wood, liquorice and mocha. In the mouth, the attack is soft and velvety, with a dense texture and fine tannins. The structure is balanced and the finish is long and persistent, characterised by a beautiful freshness.
