tasting note
|
It does show an intense colour with purple shades, some raspberry and black plums aromas or fruits in liquor.
Some tinges of vanilla and cocoa with some spiced notes of clove.
In the mouth it becomes kind and meaty with a good acidity level that does contrast with the warmth of the alcohol and the fine tannins.
The ending is long and persistent.
Decant before serving.
