Bouquet

The olfactory range opens with ripe cherry, plum, orange peel, humus and violet suggestions. This is followed by liquorice root, cinchona and rhubarb, then intense notes of camphor, eucalyptus and laurel characterise the balsamic imprint in the background.

Flavour

Silky in the mouth, full and juicy, it expands with vigorous and austere freshness, highlighting a mineral vein and evolving tannins. Long finish reminiscent of liquorice.
