Very dark ruby with purple reflections. Multifaceted aromas. Expressive, intense notes of black, ripe cherries, also plums, fresh blossom, cloves and dark chocolate. Dense on the palate with plenty of mellowness and finely woven tannins. The aromas on the nose are joined by a little tobacco and cedar. Clear, straightforward and precise. Long, lingering, juicy-elegant finish.
