The deep garnet-red color tends to black; what density! The intensity continues in the palette of aromatic notes of roasted coffee, cocoa, ripe fruit and venison, dotted with spice (white pepper, nutmeg, sesame). The mouth is distinctly fresh with bold fruit, finishing with a note of liquorice and tannins.
