The wine shows a bright ruby colour with a brightening rim. The nose is intense and multi-layered, opening up with nuances of ripe forest raspberries and blackberries, a touch of blueberries and cassis, complicated by delicate notes of sweet spices like cinnamon, cloves and vanilla. The palate is vibrant and gourmet, full and juicy, offering creamy texture, polished, fine-grained tannins and well-balanced acidity. Notes of juicy red cherries and wild strawberries interlace gracefully with nuances of cocoa and chocolate, a hint of cherry liqueur, a touch of tobacco and pencil shavings. Aerial structure and juicy and fruity finish.
