Tasting notes
Glass-staining ruby. Powerful aromas of fresh blueberry, licorice, spicecake and candied flowers, and a subtle hint of vanilla in the background. Juicy and seamless on the palate, displaying pliant, appealingly sweet black and blue fruit flavors that show excellent depth as well as energy. Delivers a suave blend of power and finesse and closes with powerful dark fruit thrust and fine-grained tannins that add shape and gentle grip.

Very deep purple colored, the 2013 The Factor is intensely scented of crème de cassis, baked plums and blueberry pie with hints of licorice, dark chocolate and violets plus a whiff of balsamic. Very big, full and rich in the mouth, it explodes with baked black berries flavors, framed with rounded tannins and finishing with great persistence.
