Bright, deeply coloured garnet red with violet reflections. The nose opens with dark fruit macerated in spirit, delicate spices and balsamic tones over subtle chocolate. Broad and generous on the palate, with an enveloping structure and firm but polished tannins. The long aromatic finish recalls rhubarb preserve and delicate bitter roots.
