Tasting notes

The color is dark with purple reflections, typical of a strong concentration. The nose is fine and elegant, tending towards red fruits (blueberry, blackcurrant) with hints of vanilla and cinnamon. The palate is concentrated and balanced, with fine flavors of licorice, violet and red fruits, mixed with a very fine woodiness and long and silky tannins.
