Brilliant deep ruby red with purple border.
Far ranging and elegant aromas which open with balsamic notes of mint, leather, floral perfume of violets and fruit perfumes of fresh plums and cassis.
Further alluring hints of rice starch, coffee, black pepper, cloves, licorice and a final whiff of herbaceousness and oak.
On the palate a measured degree of acidity that embraces the warmth of the alcohol and then enriches the wine in the presence of the velvety,sweet and wide tannins and sapid/mineral taste factors.
Competely balanced , young but with a lively texture and interesting body.
Long finish with aftertaste of bitter chocolate and violet. A young wine that gives pleasure now with its balance, length and soft tannins.
Hold.
