Tasting

Olfactory: Complex nose, pleasant and a little closed on the youth. Notes of roasted hazelnuts, wood and a little vanilla are found on the first nose. The red fruits express themselves after aeration, especially the blackcurrant.
Taste: a frank opening. Lots of tannins in the mouth, very powerful but with great finesse.
A rich, very complex, thick wine for thrill seekers.
