Taste:

Full-bodied and firmly structured, with concentrated cassis, black cherry and plum supported by fresh acidity and powerful, fine-grained tannins. Graphite, dark chocolate, cedar and savoury herbal notes bring depth and precision.

Very long and persistent, with lingering black fruit, graphite, cocoa and polished mountain tannins.
