2. Sommelier's Notes
Appearance: Deep purplish-red color, of great density and bright rims that reflect its youth and vigor.
Nose: Aromatic explosion of very ripe black fruits. Clear notes of blackberry jam, raisins, dates, and a delicate spicy background reminiscent of cinnamon stand out.
Palate: Unctuous and velvety entry. The sweetness is prominent but balanced, filling the palate with persistent fruity flavors. The finish is long, comforting, and deeply traditional.
