A deep beautiful black color (cherry).
Rich, complex and powerful nose which reveals candied black fruits, tapenade of black olives, prunes, soft spices (vanilla) and grilled cocoa notes.
Intense and very fruity palate, marked by cherry and ripe blackcurrant aromas. Fleshy, it then reveals notes of cocoa and spices (pepper). The finale offers licorice and menthol notes.
