Intense ruby colour. Fruity character with notes of red fruits, plums and black cherries accompanied by elegant spicy notes, and a finish with hints of coffee, tobacco and leather. Fine, intense and persistent bouquet with a wide palette of aromas. On the palate, it has a good structure and a fine tannic texture that guarantee the wine a good ageing potential. It goes well with meat and red meat dishes.
