The highly perfumed nose presents intense aromas of ripe red and black fruits such as cherries in syrup, strawberries, and figs over a spicy back that recalls red and black pepper along with notes of fresh tobacco and crème de cassis that meld very well with the aromas of coffee and dark chocolate that appear after a few minutes in the glass.
The generous palate has very nicely rounded tannins that deliver a central nerve that lends structure to the wine along with a sense of sweetness on the mid-palate that makes this an elegant and juicy wine with very good persistence.
