Mdeium intense, mahogany red colour. Broad, open red fruit nose with floral, violety, spicy, woody and vegetal notes. Full-bodied and elegant palate is intense and savoury and firm with green pepper flavours. Lingering finish with great very appealing and sophisticating style. – JL 94p (8/2022)

Intense and nuanced. Concentrated berry-fruit with much lusciousness, exotic scent, breed and finess. Fine length and aftertaste. Will last for 8-12 years.
