The nose is aromatic, concentrated and powerful. It reveals notes of cassis, blackberry and light notes of licorice, nicely combined with notes of blackberry, small berries and notes of flowers, olive, local vegetation, mocha, Ceylon tea and Sichuan pepper. On the palate it is fruity, balanced, juicy and somewhat minerally. The tannins are firm, which guarantees good aging.
