Tasting Notes: Intense violet colour with purple hues. Great aromatic intensity with dark cherry, ripe prunes and violets. Smoky notes from the oak ageing are very well balanced with its fruity character, cloves and caramel notes. Sweet palate, full bodied, with ripe tannins and a nice and fresh acidity. It has a long lasting sweet finish that lingers with spicy and dark chocolate notes. With great cellaring potential, it is a great accompaniment to grilled meats, pasta with strong sauces and matured cheese.
