With a purple tint, intense and sometimes veering to mauve, the aromas often evoke rose and licorice. Young aromas of cherry, strawberry, and blackcurrant. Mature aromas of leather, truffle, fur, and game. Macerated fruity notes complete the bouquet. Vigorous and robust, it has body and character with a balanced and framed structure. Long lasting on the palate, it can be fully enjoyed after several years of ageing; maturity brings a sultry and elegant roundness.
