Dark ruby red with purple reflections. Intense, complex and pleasantly scented on the nose. There are aromas of dark berries, cloves, some gingerbread spice and brown bread as well as fine roasted notes. Very complex on the palate and succulent, typical of the grape variety. With finely honed, backbone-giving tannins. The palate aromas include warm spices, cedarwood, black cherries and plums. The finish is complex, robust and long.
