Black ripe fruits like morello cherries and raspberries, juniper berries, black pepper and garrique are evidenced in the nose. After years of ageing, the aromas will be characterised by plums, dried stone fruits, leather, fur and sandalwood. On the palate, the wine is round, rich and powerful with soft tannins. With time, the will will involve into a more complex and spicy wine.
