Dark purple colour with violet hue and almost black core. Sophisticated nose with very elegant fruit, reminiscent of ripe cherries, red forest berries, wisteria, hints of black truffles and violets. Elegant oak with refined toasting. On the palate well structured with excellent depth and length, ripe and silky tannins, intense fruit, charming spiciness and hints of Périgord truffles in the background.
