TASTING NOTES: intense ruby red colour with garnet hues. The nose is immediately intriguing for the variety of aromas: prunes, dried hay, chlorophyll, black truffle, mint, dried black fig, black pepper, cocoa, bay leaf and vanilla. The palate opens with balanced and generous extracts and freshness. The tannin is initially sweet and velvety and then a little dry on the finish. Very enjoyable flavour of stewed prunes. The finale is long and aromatic.
