Tasting Notes
Deep ruby with purplish reflections. Intense nose with hints of small black berries, a touch of cassis, “Mon Chéri,” and enticing roasted notes. Dense and multi-layered. On the palate, it is powerful, full-bodied, and well-structured. Again, there are prominent black fruit flavors, fine oak, coffee, and dark chocolate. A tightly woven tannic structure and juicy acidity give the wine great strength and length. The finish is persistently aromatic and very harmonious.
