Deep Ruby red color with pronounced aromas of berry fruits, spice and floral notes. On the palate intense flavors of licorice and blackberry flavors, with earthy leathery notes, well balanced with lively acidity, full-bodied, big and well structured. Long finish, smooth tannins ending with cacao and rich sweet fruit tones. Very nice! Need to decant! — a year ago
