Decanted for one hour before tasting. Dark purple core, pink rim. Beautiful nose with hints of black fruit, dry soil, cinnamon stick and caramel. Smooth and well balanced despite its richness and alcohol content. Prime drinking today, but will easily keep for another five years.

The nose was refined with a regal aura, showing ripe red fruits, a whiff of floral perfume, airy herbs and vanilla. On the palate, it was juicy and mouthfilling with sweet red fruits, spice and minerals. The long, intense finish lingered with dark red fruits.
