This wine is very dark, almost black. The first nose is quite discreet, very black, wild blackberry and blackcurrant, then through aeration it opens completely and offers the power of a full body of black fruits, red fruits, spices, pepper, liquorice and delicate notes of flint stone. The mouth is tense and round thanks to a great acidity balanced with a remarkable concentration and beautiful tannic structure. The wine is structured, dense and rich with great tension and energy. The aroma palette in mouth if close to that of the nose with cherry, blackcurrant, wild blackberry, liquorice, zan, cinnamon and a great minerality of flint stone.

Tasting Notes:
