"Dark ruby youthful reflection, violet edge. On the nose, delicate shades of orange zest-accented cherry confit, fine herbs and spices, rather decent bouquet. Well defined, prominent, yet challenging tannins, dark berry fruit, delicate nougat, fine vegetal nuances in the finish, delicate bitter chocolate in the finish, shows a good freshness, with mineral reverberation and a delicately astringent finish."
