| Incredibly deep and concentrated in appearance and tinged with crimson. Intense and complex on the bouquet, redolent of ripe, fresh black berry fruits, combined to perfection with spicy notes. Very smooth and full-flavoured on the palate from the outset, the aromas evolve swiftly, gaining remarkable breadth and intensity. Impressively full-bodied, concentrated and silky, the lengthy structure, enveloped in lingering aromas of black cherry and blackcurrant, together with delicate notes of sweet spice, extends all the more to culminate in a finish of rare distinction and length.
A very great wine with exceptional balance, finesse and length.
