Ruby-red with garnet highlight. Its delicate but intense nose is wide, with clear-cut overtones of withered roses, violets, tobacco, underbrush, spices, and a slight touch of vanilla. Dense, closely-woven tannins show on the palate, which starts out smooth, almost velvety, and then bursts with fruit, nicely balanced by a sharp freshness. Long aftertaste packed with flavour.
