## Summary

## Tasting notes

Intense, lively garnet red with slight orange reflections. Clean, wide, very intense nose with notes of sweet tobacco, hay, liquorice, cinnamon, plum and cocoa. Harmonious, full, savoury palate with sweet tannins that give volume in the mouth, and a persistent aftertaste of vanilla with a light bitter hint of cinchona.
