Inky bright dark purple core and hue. Pure and intense aromas where fine oak and toast blends with violet, chalk, truffle, blackberry, cassis and fine tobacco. The palate shows immense concentration, yet with a modest extraction, offering powdery tannin, cocoa-powder like texture with layers of inky dark fruit, good proportions, and integrated oak, layers of savoury dark fruit, fine spice and a very long muscular finish.
