Beautiful dark cherry red with great depth of color. Powerful on the nose, revealing rich fruit notes reminiscent of red cherry jam and exquisite undertones of raisin and dates with a touch of black pepper spice. Flavorful, supple, and light on the palate, but with lush elegance. Well-structured with a backbone of delicate, finely grained tannins. Seductive and modern in personality, seeking elegance over robustness.

"The slight dark-earth funk is intriguing with red berries and a touch of mushroom and oyster-sauce savoriness. Medium body with juicy fruit, round tannins and a linear, medium-long finish."
