Creators' opinion
On the nose, predominant notes of black fruit (berries, ripe cherry, and plums) along with balsamic aromas and hints of vanilla pod. In the tasting phase, Bad Boy is fresh and medium-bodied, with expressive tannins and echoes of the aromas anticipated on the nose. Structured and persistent finish.
