The wine has a deep, dense colour with a garnet tint. The nose reveals a wide array of aromas, opening on intense black fruit such as blackberry and billberry together with herby garrigue notes, then developing touches of mild spice and licorice. The dense and concentrated attack gives way to a well integrated and succulent mid palate underpinned by refined, silky tannins, with balsamic, chocolate and licorice notes contributing to the overall harmony. The finish is fresh and harmonious on a range of black fruit and incense flavours which linger long on the palate.
