Nose:

A cloud of coffee notes appears with lots of black fruit coming from below and a bed of sweet spices. It has great expressiveness and black plums and chocolate stand out. There is a certain very pleasant liquor. It brings to mind a chocolate bonbon filled with plum liqueur.

Palate:

It is very broad, sweet and pleasant, really good and pleasant, it is like a very fresh caramel that does not stop bringing out aromas of black fruits, round, caressing and fresh.

With a long aftertaste and a very powerful retronasal route, the plum remains in the memory accompanied by a thousand nuances of sweet spices. Voluptuous and big.

The 2004 and 2005 vintages have always been antagonistic and magnificent, 2004 austere, pure, deep and direct, 2005 voluptuous, round, ornate and rich.
