The reddish, brown border round the glass is the only visible sign of maturity. The intermediate area that is initially opaque evolves into a translucent dark red. To finish, at the base of the glass, the colour is red.

Nose: Its typical aroma is characterised by a similarity with the vintage due to its powerful, dominant and dense fruitiness revealing a profound ripeness of fruits, such as prunes, figs, blackberries, raspberries and cherries.

Palate: On the palate it is soft, noting a balanced, full on the mouth, glycerine-like sensation. The ripeness of its fruit reveals to us a flavoursome figure, exalting the more volatile, evolved back of the nose aromas. Its persistence is notable.

After taste: Full bodied, with a peppery after taste. Rather complex, has a notable persistence.
