Colour: very dense purple red, Taste: warm, soft, intense, with silky tannins, pleasantly acidity, taste like berries and red cherries, Nose: intense red fruits, very persistent
A rather fresh appearance to this wine's colour. The nose has the same character, bright and fresh, with a light cherry aroma. The palate has a leaner character than I was perhaps expecting , although the fruit profile is as expected and it certainly has a rather appealing grippy structure beneath it all.
