Deep and bright ruby colour. Fine perfumes of blackberry and blueberry jam, blackcurrant and mint; it opens on aromas of Mediterranean bush, red orange, tobacco and black pepper. The mouthfeel is round and tasty; it shows a dynamic structure, embodied with a beautiful freshness in which the silky tannic texture constitutes an excellent basis for a long term bottle maturation. Very persistent on citrus notes.
