Cherry red in colour, star bright and with medium intensity. On the nose, the first aromas to appear are those of the barrel ageing; the most evident being vanilla, smoky notes, caramel and roast coffee beans. On gently swirling the glass, these combine with aromas of black fruits. The blend of grapes give it a complex structure and aromatic intensity. Powerful, deep and balanced on the palate, with velvety tannins. A sensation of sweetness, certainly due to the high alcohol level. Great length, and a fine fruity finish.
