Intense ruby red with garnet reflections. Pleasantly perfumed by sweet spices and tertiary notes of leather, cocoa and cigar. Full bodied with great structure and good tannic tension. The mouthfeel is painted with black currant flavor, wild blueberries compote and scent of Mediterranean bush. Delicious now, fantastic in a few years.
