Owner's words
The nose is dominated by aromas of pink roses, evolving towards fruitier notes of raspberry and blackcurrant jelly, as well as floral and mineral nuances of rosewood, lemon verbena and cedar, culminating in iris overtones (root and flower).
Generous, concentrated and subtle on the palate, revealing blackcurrant and dark tobacco flavors. Powerful and full-bodied, it reveals long-lasting powdery tannins and notes of black tea and cocoa.
