A deep, luminous ruby red in colour; concen-trated and refined. The nose is a triumph of blackberry jam and blueberries – typical of thevariety – with attractive and intense notes of cherries in brandy, rose petals. Its tra ditionally-styled profile is further enhanced by liquorice and chocolate notes.It has a distinct creaminess on the palate, along with very power-ful, mellow fruit. The finish is long and persistent, with precisely defined tannins of rare finesse, elegance and gentleness.
