A dense, inky colour with dark violet reflections. The nose has a distinctive spiciness that is powerful and ripe. Peaty aromas mingle with notes of mocha, red fruit, and different kinds of pepper. The mouth is round, full, and dense with superbly smooth tannins. A few touches of vanilla and nutty aromas reinforce an astonishing freshness.
