Clear, bright, ruby red with puirple rim.

Ripe plums, dark cherries, cranberry, earthy note, hints of varnish, delicately oaked, probably older oak, spicy cinnamon, cloves, camphor and incense stick.

Dry, the very high alcohol ( 14.5%) lends some sweetness, full bodied, fresh, medium acidity, savoury black olives, saturated ripe plums, raisin note, hints of dark chocolate, medium tannin, medium lenght.
