Nose: Complex and concentrated. Aromas of ripe black fruit (blackcurrant, blackberry), spicy notes (pepper, liquorice), woody nuances (cedar, tobacco) and discreet floral touches.
Palate: Full, silky attack. Firm but well-defined tannins. Dense, rich mid-palate with intense fruit and lovely freshness. Long, persistent finish, marked by spicy, woody notes.
