Tasting Notes
Rich, almost impenetrable ruby-violet. Compact, at the beginning also somewhat restrained nose, shows opening notes of cassis, pickled cherries, in the background a touch of leather, also fine spices. Juicy, currants and cranberries, dense, polished tannin, builds on the palate, very juicy, long finish.
