Deep ruby red hue. The nose and palate are in perfect harmony and reveal aromas of black fruits, oak, and spice. The attack is powerful and underpinned by direct, velvety tannins. This wine offers good structure and aromatic persistency.

"Dark and rich with stacks of red fruit and licorice plus delicate notes of summer flowers and bark. Plenty of power, structure and concentration on the medium- to full-bodied palate, but for this appellation the ample tannins are remarkably fine. Wonderful interplay of beautifully ripe fruit and salty minerality at the long, exciting finish.”
