Intense garnet red color with violet hues. On the nose, it displays aromas of ripe black fruit, notes of garrigue, fine spices, liquorice, and a very distinct mineral background. On the palate, it is structured and deep, with firm and polished tannins, balanced acidity, and a long, elegant, and persistent finish, where the purity of the ungrafted rootstock and the strength of the limestone soil are perceived.
