Medium deep garnet with a mature ruby rim. Pure and fragrant nose, with a slight hint of toast and oak-derived butterscotch/ fine spice, along with chalky notes, truffle, crushed red berries, kirsch, tobacco, and fragrant herbs like sage. The palate combines good density and volume with grainy tannins, refreshing and digestible, with sapid red fruit and balanced oak-derived spice underneath, followed by a long, savoury finish.
