Deep dark purple hue, complex nosse which evokes fresh fruit (cherry),
violet flowers, biscuits and sweet trailing spices. On the pallet there is arefine balance of soft tanins with a slit tang. Full of finesse, the mid-palate is expressive with fruit, red current and grenadine, very present minerality and silky tannins. A long, elegant intensive finish.
