The nose is intense and complex, with aromas of very ripe red and black fruits, raisins, and liqueurs, accompanied by notes of dark chocolate, subtle coffee, and spices imparted by its time in oak barrels. On the palate, it is a wine with great volume and structure, with present but sweet and ripe tannins. The finish is long, persistent, and elegant, highlighting the natural power of Tannat with a refined texture.
