More curiosities
On the nose it expresses an extraordinary complexity and aromatic intensity, which reveals itself with deep balsamic notes and dried fruit with shell, caramelized figs, dried plums; in the mouth it is concentrated, dense, with an evolved tannic texture and a sustained acidity that pleasantly balance the sweet sensations. Very long persistence.
