Description

The exuberant deep ruby-purple colour catches your eye, with the rich and robust nose tantalising, awaiting the first sip. Aromas of sweet dark fruit, like black cherries with hints of violet and rose unfold into a brooding, opulent palate with dark chocolate, a hint of vanilla and spices. Smooth tannins balanced by an elegant acidity. Evolution dominates over fruitiness, but it is delicious with a soft earthiness. A highly complex and rich wine with great structure and a lingering finish which you will be able to enjoy for many years to come.
