On the palate, velvety smooth and well-structured, it presents a harmonious blend of dark fruit flavors. The blackberries and black currants take center stage, accompanied by notes of juicy cherries and a touch of spice. The finish is long and persistent, leaving a lasting impression of ripe fruit and a subtle hint of vanilla.
