Tasting Comments
It has a rich aroma with notes of baking spices, cedar, figs and black cherries. In the mouth, the rich flavor of red fruits spreads, and it has a rich and full body with a concentrated fruitiness. The tannins are robust yet silky.
It has sweet fruit and balanced acidity, with nuances of leather, wet stone, forest soil and Provencal herbs that linger on a long finish.
