Nose
Intense aromatics are terrific like perfume with fresh cassis, cherry, blueberries and a hint of pepper.
Palate
It delivers purity of flavor, richness and depth with finesse. Well rounded in the mouth, it exhibits plenty of vibrancy and charms with a wonderful bouquet of violet, fresh crushed rocks, blue and black fruits and exotic spices. Lingering on your palate with a very long, beautiful finish of fruits, it shows great promises for long aging ability.
