Tasting Notes
Deep ruby-red color.
Intense, complex nose with notes of dark berries, licorice, and tobacco, together with ethereal, smoky sensations.
On the palate, it is smooth, with great structure and balance, full of flavors, especially savory herbs and licorice.
Firm tannins and a long, powerful finish.
