Dense purple core and hue with a slightly lighter rim. Pure, intense and layered nose blending chalky notes, truffle, liquorice, ash and mild oak with darker fruit, blackberry, cherry and cassis. The palate is dense and concentrated with soft extraction, good concentration of tannin but finely chiseled, layers of dense dark fruit, high ripeness but underlined by a vigorous freshness with great purity and persistency. Highly potent.
