Appearance: Dark ruby-red color with a slight purple reflection; a warmer rim indicating the transition from youth to complexity.
Aroma: Wonderful, rich nose: cherries, raspberry, sweet spices (anise, sandalwood), cedar and tobacco, with ripe fruity, woody, and creamy nougat notes.
Taste: Full-bodied, medium intensity, with rich fruitiness of black cherry and raspberry, intertwined with sweet spices. Also fine, long-lasting tannins and a subtle mineral base.
Finish: Long-lasting, elegant aftertaste with pronounced fruity, spicy, and woody-dusty echoes. Classic VP, stunning with roasted lamb ragout or dark chocolate.
