It is of an intense deep purple. It displays aromas of plum, flowers, hibiscus with some minerals. Full bodied it is filled with spices, plum, dark berries, hibiscus leaves and some flowers. Nice tannins and medium finish, it is a bit dry. I had it for below $15 so for this price it is definitely one you must try! Cheers
