The wine is deep ruby in colour. A ripe nose of strong intensity displaying aromas of black fruits (black rowan, blackberry), prune, spices and fried hazelnuts. It is masculine and full-bodied on the palate with bountiful firm tannins, high warming alcohol; flavours of prune, dried black berries and spices in a medium finish. Needs further ageing.
