Funky, earthy nose w/ wildflower (violets). Palate is more restrained, yet flavorful.

красивый рубиновый цвет. Зрелые красные ягоды с преобладанием вишни, мягкие специи, подлесок, сухие листья. Свежее, элегантное, с хорошей кислотностью, средней длиной и небольшими шелковистыми танинами на финише. Гармонично, красиво, ничего лишнего. 90/100
