Dark inky core and high viscosity. The nose is ripe and bold with masses of dark fruit- blackberry, cassis, dark cherry and sweet spices, a hint of roasted oak in the background. The palate is rather massive and dense, yet with grainy tannin and fresh acidity, very nice dark fruit, ripe blackberry and cocoa bean, very mouth coating and persistent finish, modern and polished, yet with a certain elegance and very fine potential.
