This wine has a rich ruby red appearance, with scents of ripe red fruit, cocoa, vanilla, a subtle floral aroma, and a hint of spice. The palate is filled with notes of red currant, chocolate, vanilla, and coffee, making for a delightful taste experience. The tannins are velvety smooth and the acidity is well-balanced with a good alcohol content. The finish is lengthy and indulgent, ending with a touch of vanilla. It pairs perfectly with red meats, stews, pate, and cheese.

"This is showing aromas of grilled plums, sour cherries, mushrooms and spice box. Juicy and bright with a medium body, mellowed tannins and a tasty finish. Drink now."
