Notes: Black fruits arrive first on the nose: blueberry and blackberry, floral and smoky notes follow, then wonderful tertiary aromas: leather, mushroom, black olive and sun-dried tomato. The palate accentuates the fruit character and adds luscious notes of dates and dark chocolate at the end. A smooth, sophisticated wine with a very long finish.
