The color is deep red with violet glints

The nose develops aromas of ripe red berries, balsamic, camphor and eucalyptus

The attack is round and fat, followed by a surprisingly fresh and deep mid-palate with chocolat and liquorice aromas on velvety tannins

The finish offers a long-lasting grilled mocha taste
