This dark ruby-colored wine offers spicy, smoky oak and soft, ripe, cherry and red currant flavors presented in a compressed but alluring, medium-bodied, finesse-filled format. Some tannin is present, but the overall impression is one of pretty fruit and a dry, crisp finish.
Perfumed and opulent, with blackberry, vanilla and mushroom aromas. Full-bodied and intensely tannic, with a velvety texture and a long, succulent aftertaste.
Rene Gabriel rates this wine 16/20 points.
