Very dense, deep crimson colour, lively and shimmering. An attractive nose with smoky and piquant notes – smoke, wood, ink, dried black cherries in rum, dark chocolate and licorice. Elegant body, medium to full, with smooth, velvety tannins, a note of sweet vanilla and a trace of black fruit in rum in the flavourful, long finish. Exquisite and seductive wine with good potential to age in the bottle (2017 – 2025). An exceptional wine with its own classic style (91 pts.).
