Full, bright ruby showing lightly amber at the rim. Very intense on the nose, clear and fragrant. Enormously satisfying on the palate, combining warmth and austerity with a fine harmony of flavours ranging from roasted coffee beans, tobacco and spice and a fine, well integrated hint of new oak.

Robust and rustic with dried fruit (fig/prune) flavours accompanied by a creamy bitter-chocolate character, balanced by moderate acidity and smoky oak, with superb length.

Bright and coral in colour, rich on the nose, opulent, floral with fine fruit. On the palate it is dry, harmonious, rich and elegant with a pleasantly dry aftertaste.
