Description: Intense ruby red colour. With longer maturing, it takes on ruby red to brick hues. The bouquet is ripe, complex, and noble, with a scent of tobacco, cigars and leather. On the palate, black cherry, plum jam, pepper, and oak notes are all elegantly enriched with a soft spiciness. Harmonious and persistent flavour with a pleasant freshness and a mineral note. Smooth tannins. An elegant, full-bodied wine. Noble aftertaste.

Great potential for bottle maturing.
