Tasting profile

Deep ruby red. Wild berries, cherry liqueur, dried violet and forest floor lead into black pepper, cloves, juniper, chocolate and sweet tobacco. The palate is pervasive, warm and juicy, with smooth tannins integrated into a full-bodied structure. The aftertaste is very long and fruity.
