“Amber color with gold and red tints. The nose is complex. We sense some fruity flavors (prune, quince), and some spices (vanilla, cloves, and honey). The second nose changes a little, due to the air contact. We sense some dry fruit flavors like almonds and nuts. On the palate, the balance between aromas (licorice and chocolate), tannins (round and fat) and alcohol is perfect. Long, long spicy finish.”
