Intense and bright cherry red in colour with purple purple reflections.

Good structure and nice balance. Involving, wide and enjoyable mid palate. Fruit and floral notes are noticed along with well integrated wood. Polished tannins. Fresh acidity. Long and persistent finish. A very personal varietal wine.
