Tasting Note:
Deep red colour with purple tints. Expressive and delicate nose dominated by mature fruit's aromas: cherries, plums. Floral notes of violet are enhanced by a spicy touch. The fruitiness is dazzling. Perfect balance between power and roundness. The finish is long with a bit of saltiness.
