Deep garnet red with bricking on the edges. Chalky notes on the attack of the nose with dark red berries, touch of greenery and forest floor. Medium tannins (6.5/10) and medium plus body. Very dry with dried spices and herbs, light greenery as well as some dark cherries. Long finish and quite dry. Drink till 2020.

Really smooth and barely tannic. Bell pepper, then raspberries, then a long black-currant finish. So nice with a hunk of parmigiano.
