Tasting

The nose is evolved but shows an expanded range of flavors: red fruit jam and kernel fruits, lily, smoke and chocolate. Advanced aromas are also sensitive: parchment, undergrowth, rust.
The attack is a little tired. The mid-palate is fleshy and rich. The tannic structure is very well defined and a remarkable freshness gives the wine a long and incredible precision.
Complex aromas of caramel, truffle and raspberry jam give way to a long finish dominated by smoky and cocoa flavors, reminiscent of a great cigar.
