The wine is medium ruby in colour. A complex, fresh, elegant and manysided nose of strong intensity; fruit is evident and oak ageing notes do not mask it; aromas of black cherry, black currant, blackberry, a touch of violet and cinnamon. Great texture, fruit concentration and balance on the palate with bountiful velvety tannins, gently warming alcohol and medium plus body; flavours of black cherry, blackberry and cinnamon in a long finish. Ready for drinking with a potential for ageing.
