Solid, deep red. Enchanting alternation of impressions. Redcurrant, cherry jam, mint chocolate, ink and cedar are only some of the identifiable aromas. Fleshy, rich, almost plethoric, with abundant fruit supporting the well integrated tannins. The theoretically high alcohol is balanced by the acidity and expressed mainly as sweetness and volume. Long finish with notes of chocolate.
