A medium-intensity cherry red with a violet rim. Clean and bright. A complex, elegant nose. Red-berry aromas are prevalent with hints of ripe fruit, along with spicy, oaked, toasty and tobacco notes. A warm attack, becoming full- bodied and balanced on the mid-palate, with gentle tannins and easy to drink. The aromas described above make a return along with balsamic tones and clearly prevalent toasty notes.
