Strong crimson garnet with a wide ocher rim and orange reflections. Fine tobacco nuances on the nose, delicate red berry hints, with damp undergrowth, notes of blackberry and ripe cherry. Dark berries on the palate, freshly structured, mineral touch, seems pithy, the tannins are still somewhat demanding, red berry fruit and a lemony touch on the finish, a border crosser between old style and new time, patience is still required here.
