Medium garnet
Pronounced primary aromas of black fruits (plums, ripe cherries, blackberries) secondary aromas of toast and cedar and tertiary savoury aromas.
On the palate the wine is very dry, high acidity, medium alcohol and medium+ coarse tannins. It's has medium+ intensity flavors of cranberries, blackberries, plums and plum skins, cedar and cigar box and dried flowers and savoury meaty flavors with a medium body. The finish is medium+ finish. The wine is approachable now and can age for the next five years. It's a good wine bordering on very good, it has beautiful, complex and intense aromas , but lacks balance because it smells sweeter and riper than the dryness perceived on the palate, it is also lacking intensity of flavors on the palate and the finish is just above medium.
