Appearance: Deep, brilliant amber Nose: Ripe black and exotic fruits dominate, against a woody, vanilla-scented backdrop. Palate: The attack is silky and creamy, with lovely sweetness, immediately revealing the fruitiness, enhanced by caramel and spices. The power is accompanied by a marked freshness, supported by the tannins from the oak. The finish, which is very long, blends cocoa and fruit. Overall impression: An intense and fresh wine, where generous fruitiness is underpinned by a silky texture and great length.
