Quite vividly colored, it is often dark crimson with purplish highlights. The nose is dominated by small red fruits (raspberry, Morello cherry) and black fruits (blackberry) set off by notes of licorice and underbrush. With age it evolves towards strawberry preserves and gingerbread with animal and leather notes. It is well-built with noticeably elegant tannins. Its well-rounded structure leaves an aftertaste of fruit on the palate. Handpicked harvest. Traditional fermentation in oak barrels (30% new casks). Maturation during 12-14 months in cellar for ageing, stored in barrels.
