This is fo lowed by spicy notes reminiscent of black pepper, cloves and star anise. Delicate tertiary notes and freshness given by balsamic and citrus scents are also interesting. The palate reveals a nice acid-alcoholic component and the tannic texture is we l present, dense and silky. The taste-olfactory response is remarkable. The finish is pleasantly persistent and balanced in its various components.
