Vibrant and deep; vivid crimson-purple.
Pungent mix of ripe black fruits, spice, liquorice and anise enhanced by superbly integrated French oak nuances.
Full bodied and silky smooth, the highlights are lifted black currant and liquorce, combined with mocha and swirls of five-spice characters.
The elegant yet rich flavours are persistent, balanced with harmonious
French oak and supple tannins leading to a lasting luscious finish.
