Aromatically there is a fragrant mixture of red and black fruit (strawberries, black cherries and blackberries) as well as licorice, spice, and flowers (violets), joined by a discreet expression of wood (toasted brioche). On the palate, the wine has a balanced attack, evolving to a pronounced expression of power, richness and roundness. The finish is long, reprising elements of black fruit, licorice, violet.
