Young, fruitful, and with plenty of grip. Opens up after a couple of hours with some black fruits and earth.

On the nose high cherry notes, hints of tabaco, leather, vanilla, and plum. Medium body high acidity and medium tannins. Taste of plum, leather, and vanilla. Elegant finish.

Saint Emilion Bordeaux - beautiful, fruit forward, nice spice and tobacco notes. Full bodied with a long finish.

Blue fruit and plum arrive in the rich aromatics. The acid and tannins are in balance. The finish is moderately long. Really strong wine.
