Intense and well outlined nose, very refined: evolving with black berries, together with clear balsamic and Mediterranean traces. Then progressively develop typical mineral notes. Enters the mouth austere and fresh, evolving in a good balance between the mineral traces and the fine tannic notes. Good length, with wide mineral notes.
