On the nose, it offers a complex bouquet where intertwining notes of ripe red fruits, sweet spices, and a light hint of dark chocolate and tobacco.

Aging in French oak barriques adds layers of vanilla and toasting that blend perfectly with the fruit and spices. The elegant complexity of the wine concludes with a long and persistently aromatic finish.
