Tasting

| Aroma | The nose offers a complex bouquet with floral hints of lavender, black fruit cake, spices and herbs, plus the inevitable slight hint of oak. |
| Palate | In the mouth, then, it is a symphony of flavours ranging from raspberry, plum and elegant, medium-weight style with velvety texture and fine tannins. |
| Finish | The finish is long and persistent, showing integrated Valrhona chocolate and coffee grind flavours that whirl into a panaforte mix of dates and soaked/macerated plums. |
