Ruby with red and black fruit aromas and fragrant spice. On the palate youthful flavors of cherry and juicy blackberry with lively acidity, spice, licorice and herb notes. Firm tannins, medium length ending with fruit and spicy notes. Drink now no aging benefit!

hollow, flabby, and vegetal. no acidity and bitter/tart. slightly tannic in a bad way (sloppy destemming?). No thanks.
