Deep crimson color impresses in the glass. On the nose intense, spicy, full of complexity aromas evolve as it breathes. Ripe cherry and strawberry playing with tons of dried plum and cherry on a background of colored pepper and cardamom will take you by surprise. Olive paste, cocoa, eartyhy aromas and animal skin hints complete the uniquely deep set. On the palate rich with robust tannins and acidity that adds intensity. Dried plum and pepper stand out in the mouth and remain there in the long aftertaste.
