## Tasting notes

Colour: very intense garnet red. Nose: very intense, with red fruit, especially plum, hints of tobacco and leather from the French Allier oak, liquorice and dried flowers. Palate: very persistent. The tannin is present but not aggressive and balances the alcohol and the big body. Structure is the dominant trait.
