Rich ruby red - bewitchingly complex nose with aromas of dark berries, pepper and various spices and tropical woods. Immensely structured, full-bodied palate, meaty and juicy at the same time, engaging and engaging. The perfectly ripe, silky tannins give the wine a great structure and the naturally balanced acidity also supports the luscious fruit. The aftertaste is self-explanatory and of the same quality — it is long and persistent, yet balanced and pleasant. Be sure to decant.
