Medium to dark purple core. Fragrant nose offering floral notes, it blends red and dark berries with blackberry, violet and dry spices with a little hint of oak and vanilla underneath. The palate is dense but polished with finely grained tannin, savoury fruit with an herbal spiciness like sage and bay leaf, and a long, lingering and polished finish. Starting to gain complexity, fine nuance and digestibility.
