Tasting note

Dark mahogany color with bright, coppery reflections. Very intense aroma, characteristic of tobacco, cedar, spices, toasted sugar, toffee, dried apricots, prunes, figs, and nuts, with subtle notes of vanilla. Sweet, elegant, high acidity due to concentration, fresh, velvety, and with great balance on the palate. Very persistent aftertaste, complex, pleasant, and generous. An extremely expressive and elegant wine.
