Deep dark red with black core and clearly visible streaks forming church windows when running down the inside of the glass; scents of violets, plums, and dark fruits such as cherries and black currants in the nose; fruity and also spicy on the palate, pleasant, smoky and toasty flavours of the oak barrel contribute to the round and harmonic impression of this dry wine, voluminous, compact tannin structure; impressively powerful finish with flavours of pepper corns and spices as well as bitter chocolate.
