The nose can be characterized by intense aromas of black fruits (like blackberry) and warm toasted bread and vanilla notes. The palate is rich and elegant with silky tannins. It can be appreciated for its fruit when young, but its robust structure will allow it to age in the cellar for several years. A fantastic wine.
