Deep burgundy red with medium minus optical density and very high specular reflectivity. Very light bricking on the rim. Aromas are nice and appealing, with roses, cherry pit, tar, and some light and delicate florals. Very intense nose, with medium complexity. Light on body and with very fresh acidity. Tannins are firm and drying, for a texture that is juicy but with lots of grip. Flavours of bright cherries and spices roses on the attack. The midpalate stays with fruit, and adds on some tarry tobacco and spices, along with some rose petals, sage, and zesty soil. The finish is of dried leather, and has decent length.
