This wine shows great depth, the first impression is red cherry supported by warm spice and vanilla, in the middle you get rich blackberries, and it finishes with firm structure and balanced acidity.
The nose is savory and nutty complemented by notes of dried figs and brandy cherries. The flavors are reminiscent of dried apricot and Brazil nuts with subtle leather and white pepper notes, followed by a soft decadent finish.
