- This is a Light plum red with attractive oak spices, red plum, orange, and some oatmeal. Lovely ripeness of fruit on the palate, this has a fabulous balance of juicy ripe fruits with dark chocolate, orange, and strawberry, and red berries with crisp clean acidity, powdery but light tannins, and undulating length of flavor on the extended finish. Aromas of spices, red plums, orange peel, and oatmeal fill the nose, followed by a sumptuous palate of juicy red cherries, dark chocolate, and strawberries. This wine has an enviable balance - taut, clean, crisp acidity with an undulating length of flavor and powdery but light tannins.

Analytical data
dry
The wine has a medium color intensity of Ruby red. The nose is delicate and hints of dark cherries and musk sweets. There is a spice contribution from the wood of cinnamon and star anise. Savory notes of the oregano, basil, and bay leaf found in a bolognese sauce round off the bouquet. The first taste impression is of the silkiness and fineness of the tannins. All the elements of the bouquet persist. The balanced wooding, and the gentle handling of the grapes during the ferment, shows in the quality of the tannin profile. It is fine-grained but lends strength and presence to the wine not apparent from the entry.
