The wine displays heightened intensity of color, a sign of its importance from the outset. The nose is rich and complex, full of fruity and varietal aromas and sensations that begin with black cherries and ripe red fruits and end with hints of sweetness, coffee, and toasted oak. On the palate, the tannins are supple and balanced. The wine is flavorful and mineral-driven, yet soft; its finish recalls sweet notes of cocoa, vanilla, and black and red berries that linger and endure.
