Color
Intense and dark cherry colour. Bright. Thin tears.
Nose
Intense and powerful. Lots of notes of ripe fruit are released with very expressive toasted and spicy notes and a touch of milk and toffee, which gain ground over the aromas of fruit.
Flavour
Good and embracing attack. Tasty and silky mid palate in which the fruit takes center stage. Fresh and well balanced expression. Very nice, long and persistent finish, which leaves a good toasted and spicy aftertaste.
