Dark ruby in colour with purple reflections, and subtle brightening on the rim. On the nose, fine oak nuances and herbal spices, black forest berries, ripe cherry, a delicate hint of liquorice, underpinned with a little nougat, and tobacco-like notes. The full-bodied, fresh palate is complex, with fine, round tannins, ripe cherry notes, and a mineral finish, with chocolatey notes on the aftertaste. An elegant, versatile food wine with ageing potential.
