Nose
Dark garnet with purple-ruby rim, the nose is exultantly scented, effusing cassis and dried cherry for fruits, complemented by spice box, cedarwood, camphor, graphite and lavender.
Palate
Buttressed by succulent acidity and meaty tannins, the palate is alluringly opulent, emanating prune and blackberry confit for fruits, supplemented by black pepper, dark chocolate, caffè ristretto, tobacco and tar. Full-bodied at 14.8%, the impressive entry persists through an expansive mid-palate, leading to a potent finish.
