TASTING NOTES
Intense and compact ruby red colour. Sweet spiciness followed by fruity hints reminding blueberries and blackberries. The expanding bouquet shows well integrated roasted aromas of coffee beans and wet tobacco ending with an idea of saffron. On the palate it is juicy and elegant with creamy and silky tannins offering a full-bodied and powerful sensation. At the taste are emerging dark, perfect ripened, wooden berries combined with balsamic notes, which together with the mineral freshness are offering a perfect balance beside a long lingering and fresh aftertaste.
