Nose
It shows youthful aromas of cassis, black cherry and floral hints of violets.
Palate
The oak is well-integrated; it balances the wine’s natural acidity, and provides a bouquet of cocoa, black licorice and tobacco notes. It shows lingering, opulent fruit flavors, an elegant texture and polished tannins in a long finish.
