Opaque ruby red with violet reflections on the edges. Very complex and powerful on the nose, where the supporting alcoholic strength shows through aromas of dried plums and a balsamic bouquet. Dry on the palate, with an intriguing softness and good acidity. Characteristic baked cherry flavours with clear hints of chocolate and cinnamon. Attractively long and satisfying with obvious, but extremely delicate, tannins.
