Description  A dark, ruby colour. With longer maturing, it takes on dark red hues. A noble, rich bouquet, full of spicy and balsamic notes. A sophisticated aromas of ripe fruit, dark dried fruits, cherries in liqueur, cherry jam, liquorice and aromatic herbs,  hints of mint and truffles gradually give way to aromas of  ‘goudron’. The wine is full-bodied and lively on the palate, filling the taste buds with its density and elegant tannic texture, and ending with a lingering, fresh and wonderfully noble aftertaste. Over the years of maturing, the structure gains elegance and finesse of flavour, while keeping its freshenss, fruitiness, and harmony of taste. A Full-Bodied Vibrant Wine.

Great potential for bottle maturing.
