Dark ruby color. Nice smooth tannins with just a hint of cocoa.

Bloody hazy color, dense, and attractive. Nose of wet mushrooms, and hot spice. Need some time to open up. Decide to wait a few moments. After that, nose of pickled cabbage, a hint of cocoa, and some hot spice notes. Taste also shows significant amount of wet mushrooms, subtle dark fruits notes like cherry and dried strawberries, a touch of cocoa, a touch of leather, a bit hickory, and round acidity. The taste suppresses nose by a lot. Aftertaste is a bit weak, with some balsamic vinegar note, spice, sugar, and dark fruits. Overall, except the nose, she is a good wine to enjoy with friends or alone in a beautiful afternoon.
