Ruby color with spicy, floral red fruit aromas. On the palate flavors of cherry and raspberry with a sweet notes, soft tannins and good balance. Medium finish ending with cacao and oaky pepper notes.

Deep ruby color. Surprisingly not much in the way of legs much more sheeting. Very full in the mouth. Nose is very strong of cassis and chocolate. Flavors are full of fruits and spice. A long finish with lots of tannins. A good steak wine.

Nothing spectacular, but not bad. I'm not a fan of the bite. If you let it sit for a while, it's MUCH better
