Deep, opaque purple, almost black in the glass. The nose is intense and magnetic! The fruit dominates and is dense, juicy, black and red. Sour cherry, raspberry, cassis and wild cherry are followed by notes of pepper, cedar, pine honey, bergamot and nutmeg. The earthy element exists and manifests itself with aromas of fresh soil, wet leaves and slight sense of leather. Full bodied, mouth-filling, almost chewable, with distinct acidity and moderate but very juicy tannins. Fruit, fruit, fruit and again fruit. Cherry, and sour cherry, and berry, and plum, and cassis. Cocoa, oak, tobacco, marjoram, rosemary, vanilla, pepper and coffee add complexity to the palate. Long earthy aftertaste to take home with you.
