Deep ruby colour with a cerise rim. Freshly milled pepper bouquet with hints of nutmeg and cloves on a berry base. Sleek and flavourful; concentrated fruit with soft vanilla wood tannins. Well balanced with a long lingering aftertaste. The wine will gain in complexity during the next two to five years.
