In the glass, the wine appears almost ink-black, leaving no doubt that this is a very extraordinary wine. The scent is an explosion of red berry fruit and shades of candied fruit, violet, freshly ground pepper and vanilla. The taste is concentrated and reveals an aromatic wealth and concentration that is quite unique.
