Tasting The bouquet is flowers and black berries mixed with roasted and spicy notes. The mouth is distinguished, rich and full-bodied with lots of balance and finesse. Good intensity and aromatic complexity with notes of liquorice, mint, blackcurrant and blackberry... The structure is supported by fine and generous tannins. The finish is lingering and smooth.
