Tasting Notes
Brilliant ruby red with attractive depth.
Aromas are alcohol- and fruit-rich when young, mellowing with bottle aging into ripe plum fruit, layered over a faintly grassy background note.
Dry, soft, and well-balanced on the palate, with a pleasing bitterish twist in the finish and good aromatic length.
