"A deep translucent garnet red. Fine and charming, on notes of violets and peony, of bigarreau cherries, smoked bacon and a hint of warm slate. Straight, slender, with a fine and silky matter, but moreover a sensation of freshness and of digestibility. The same floral aromas detected by the nose are present, but also spices and smoke. The final taste is a subtle chewiness, with a fine bitterness and saltiness."
