Spicy character predominates on the nose, with aromas of black pepper & paprika, all followed by notes of figs & plums, as well as subtle touches of black olives. The ageing in barrel added harmonious notes of coffee & black chocolate to this blend of aromas. The wine feels velvety on the palate, with round & polished tannins that emphasize the flavours of black fruits & figs, as well as the variety's classic spicy character.
