Colour:
A beautiful deep red, with a dark core and bright, flashing rim.
Nose:
Very Bordeaux-like but with a delicious Rhonesque lift of black fruits and grilled meat along with a dash of pepper.
Palate:
Not a full bodied wine, but a wine with great balance, fineness and finesse. The tannins are soft and round and there is just enough fruit sweetness to give the wine real length and focus.
