Tasting notes
Colour
Violet color of an intense depth, almost opaque.
Nose
Highly ripe aromas stand out, notes of licorice and compote, black fruits, plum, dried apricots, as well as smoky touches, coffee and cocoa.
Palate
A thread of acidity runs through the mouth, demonstrating that it is a mature but very lively wine, full of complexity and nuances. It is very enveloping, with very polished tannins, not edgy, a cult wine.
