AROMA: A dense bouquet of small forest fruits, blackberry and plum, with delicate floral (rose) and vegetal (tea leaf) notes, enriched by hints of licorice, graphite, and wild notes.
TASTE: Impressive, elegant, austere palate, supported by smooth tannins and a vibrant acid-mineral vein. An endless finish in perfect harmony with the aroma.
