Medium deep garnet towards ruby on the rim. Fine perfume with wild berries, violet, rose, sweet spices, gingerbread,mild oak and toast underneath. The palate combines density and freshness with good layers, fine extract in terms of tannin, grainy, still youthful but no hard edges, digest red fruit layered with gingerbread spice and a mild hint of oak, a bit more warmth towards the finish, but good drinkability and freshness leading to a long, vigorous finish.
