This Doix 2018 has a deep purple-red color in the glass.
In the nose medium to high intensity with aromas of ripe black and red fruits, pepper, anise, cedar, chocolate, spice and graphite notes.
On the palate a full-bodied and powerful wine with medium(+) acidity and ripe tannins still present. Fleshy and round on the palate with a long finish. A wine that you can drink after decanting but also feel free to leave for another ten years to become beautifully rounded.
