The wine is medium ruby in colour. Clean, pleasant, restrained nose of moderate intensity; aromas of blackberries, ripe black plums, bread toast, roasted hazelnuts and pencil shavings. On the palate, the wine is dry, with medium+ juicy acidity, high warm alcohol, a medium body, abundant young and slightly drying tannins, with moderate- fruit concentration on the medium- finish. Nice and interesting nose; the palate lacks fruit concentration and length, while acidity, alcohol and abundant tannins come to the fore. Ready for drinking with potential for further ageing (2-3 years).
