Description

The colour, nose and palate reveal remarkable depth. The aromatic complexity unfolds with an smoky character in an extremely elegant and precise manner: black fruits, tobacco, Sichuan pepper, cloves, etc. The palate is sensually dense, enveloped by ripe tannins. The persistence and length suggest a slow but generous development, the first signs of a successful ageing process.
