Intense deep red colour with a purplish sheen. Aromas of exotic and profound complexity showing the wine?s great density and incredibly rich body and structure. Note the hints of spice (pepper, clove), shrubs (thyme) and very ripe, small red berries (cranberry, redcurrant) over a background of smoke, vanilla and incense. It grows as it warms up, exhibiting a fantastic series of flavours. The dense but sweet tannins open up and once again deliver the spicy, fruity message of the bouquet and evolve in the aftertaste into a splendid finish that leaves a firm mark.
