The aromas have an excellent intensity and complexity – one can detect balsamic aromas of exotic and cedar woods and a slight touch of tobacco box, hints of ripe red fruits and spices (pepper and clove). In the mouth, it has a powerful strike, with firm tannins of a great quality, good acidity and is possible to detect the ripe red fruits and a slight floral taste of basil. The finish is extremely long and vibrant.
