The colour of the wine is dark ruby with an opaque core and a slight brightening at the edge. The aroma is of blackberries, ripe plum and fine nougat. On the palate you will find juicy red fruit notes, soft mocha, fresh acidity and a lemon-mineral note with red cherry on the finish. This is an elegant wine to eat.
