Dark ruby-garnet color with violet highlights and a subtle leg. Ripe plum fruit underpinned by delicate herbal spice, a leafy note, dark berry jam, and orange zest in the background, with subtle woody spice. Juicy, with blackberry notes, pronounced tannins, a delicate hint of chocolate on the finish, a sweet, extract-driven aftertaste, and good aging potential.
