Description:
It has a deep black-violet colour and intensely young and pure aromas of black-acid berries like blackberry, blueberry and boysenberry combined with floral and spicy notes, together with marked mineral graphite notes. In the mouth, it has a great structure and power, with a sweet start and a straight up mid palate. The perfect balance and great acidity enhance the strong and firm tannins and refresh the palate till the end with a very mineral and persistent finish.
