Dark ruby garnet with purple reflections and a touch of brightening at the rim. An attractive black berry nose, backed by fine toast and tobacco aromas and hints of chocolate. The palate is balanced, with fine cassis underlaid by caramel and a mineral backbone. Well-integrated tannins contribute to a fresh structure. Ripe cherries emerge on the finish. Already showing some maturity, with certain further ageing potential.
