Intense garnet red colour. Bouquet of red fruit with spicy hints. Full and velvet taste, with cherry in the finish and vanilla flavours. Floral, elegant, mature aromas of Christmas pudding and sweet black cherry, orange blossom and violet candy, new leather, and chocolate cookie with a velvety, dry-yet-fruity medium-full body and a thought-provoking, endless dried forest berries, salted caramel chocolate truffle, polished wood, and finish with fine, silky structure and moderate oak.
