## Tasting notes

Very intense on the nose, where gentian and other officinal herbs dominate, elegantly tied together by a note of jam. Supported by a remarkable tannic weave and a striking, varied blend of blackberry, raspberry and wild-strawberry preserves. Long on the aftertaste, ethereal in its aromas.
