Tasting
Deep ruby-red colour, clear and vibrant, immediately appealing for its intensity.
The nose is expressive and elegant, opening on generous notes of dark chocolate and
roasted coffee, subtly intertwined with aromas of ripe black fruits. A hint of liquorice
adds complexity and structure to the whole.
On the palate, the attack is fresh and flavoursome, supported by finely integrated oak.
The texture is silky and generous, with perfectly smooth, well-polished tannins. The
finish is long, warm and persistent, combining finesse and elegance.
