The color is a very deep and intense red with violet hints; the bouquet is of red fruits, raspberries and cherries, but also with sweet hints of cream. On the palate, it has good structure and well developed tannins, soft yet powerful at the same time. A very well balanced and harmonious wine.

Medium-bodied, with blackberry and floral flavors galore and a good amount of jammy fruit. Fresh, with a medium fruity finish. Drink now. –JS
