On the nose it has powerful aroma of ripe black fruit in preserve and fine toasted
touches from the oak.
In the mouth it is meaty, with fat, ripe tannins. Perfect fruit-cask coupage. Excellent
varietal expression of ageing. Balmy and mineral tones and of aromatic
plants like thyme and rosemary. Excellent acidity gives it a pleasing freshness.
