Violet magenta color. Up front there is a clean, fresh impression. Aromas of plums, cherries, vanilla and anise. The mid-palate has vibrancy and balance. Tannins are smooth and well integrated. On top of freshly picked flavors of red fruits and cherries, lavender and cloves this wine also offers a pleasing scent of forest floor with well integrated oak providing a balance of toast and vanilla flavors.
