Ruby red color with an impenetrable texture, medium-full body. Notes of vanilla and spices intertwine the mix of ripe fruit, blackberry, crème de cassis, espresso and aromas of black olive and herbs. Full and soft palate. Warm spice tones make themselves felt, with bright acidity and soft tannins holding everything together. Well assembled, juicy, it offers a rich and smoky finish. Aged 6 months in steel, 3 months in barrique.
