Tasting Note:
In their youth, they express themselves with sobriety and austerity. The vegetal nuances with wild fruitiness such as sloe mingle with strawberry and a few floral notes. They become more refined over the years, evolving towards animal and creosote odours combined with candied strawberry and blond tobacco.
