This wine imposes its personality in its youth. Summer fruit flavors mingle with fine plant smells reminiscent of blackcurrant leaves and wild sloe, with licorice and spicy rose notes in the background. When mature, fullness and roundness make up the palate underlined with a dash of liveliness, that try to hide more austere closing notes. Flavors of cocoa, smoked meat, creosote, and undergrowth bouquet are then noticed.
