Organoleptic Notes
Vivid, brilliant garnet colour. The bouquet has great personality, with aromas of fruit preserved in alcohol, liquorice root and ginger together with classic mineral notes and a mentholated finish. The palate is rich, full‑bodied and round, with refined tannins and a subtle tang.
