- An elegant nose with red fruit aromas, cocoa notes and a well-integrated woodiness.
- A supple attack for a fat wine, concentrated and very well structured with smooth tannins, a long aromatic persistence and woody, vanilla notes mingling with dark berry fruits (blackcurrant). This is a hearty, rounded, balanced, harmonious wine with a long, elegant finish.
