Purple colour with bright reflections. Delicate aromas of red and black berries dominated by Morello cherry. Ample, structured, slightly spicy, beautiful concentration, elegant, fresh with a good length.

A dark, almost brooding red, displaying flavors of blackberry, black cherry, iron and tar. Dense and a bit rigid now, yet with plenty of fruit locked inside, this should come into its own in 3 to 5 years.
Tender raspberries contrast with a meaty, firm underpinning. The wine is both elegant and brooding, in possession of both good acidity and a ripe character.

Beautiful balance between structure & softness with a long aftertaste reminiscent of fruit syrups & mild spices

Nose is comprised by notes of exotic tea plum & anise along with a subtle floral hint. There is again very good richness volume & vibrancy to the medium-bodied flavors that conclude in a youthfully austere balanced & sneaky long finale.
