Color: Rich ruby red with a black core, bright purple reflections. Aromas: Intense, seductive nose, ripe cassis notes, subtly earthy, mushroomy, a hint of ivy and rain-soaked stones, warm roasted aromas with a finely balanced animal scent. Body: Very long, robust start, strong on the palate with tannins present, retronasally a fine note of leather and tobacco. Quality: Present wine with a future.
