Color is deep, intense, brilliant dark red, almost black. The nose is expressive and highly complex with a lot of style, nearly graphite, with both floral and fruity notes of violet, dark fruit conserve, fig and notes of caramel and cocoa bean, almost liquorice stick, vanilla, tobacco, toasted bread. The palate is structured and complex, big and dense with noticeable but silky tannins. A mouth-watering palate with very fine tannins, bordering on iodised, and spicy with aromas of liquorice, cocoa and even violets and red and black fruits, almost caramelised, which last a long time in the mouth.
