 Dark purple colour with violet hue and black core. Complex and structured nose with multi-layered character, ripe elderberries, black berries and hints of blackcurrant spurs, fine toasting with hints of pencil shavings as well as floral hints reminiscent of peonies and wisteria. Hints of liquorice and Périgord truffles in the background. On the palate well structured with freshness and excellent length, ripe tannins, mild spices backed by juicy fruit and distinct sweet spices. Excellent depth and length. Wonderful.
