Description
X, aged 12 months in American oak barrels, reveals dark fruit and peat aromas, with an intense finish. Vis et honos! Deep and complex, it offers a mineral nose, roasted notes, and an elegant palate blending strawberry, redcurrant, crisp tannins and fine acidity. The powerful, exotic finish reveals nuances of fresh mint, vanilla and chocolate.
