Intense cherry red, with gentle touches of purple at the rim of the glass. Intense, complex aromas. Initially there is ripe black fruit of plum and cherry, over a spicy backdrop of vanilla and cinnamon and toasty notes appearing as aromas of coffee. There are also some balsamic notes of eucalyptus and mint. On the palate it is soft, flavoursome and well structured with some sweet tannins. There is a long, positive acidity which adds a freshness to the fruity palate.

The finish is balanced and long, with fine hints of liquorice and some menthol.
