Deep very dark color, very consistent and thick.
The nose brings a touch of oack with strawberries, blackberries, vanilla and minerals.
Int he palate is very round and pleasant, offering an interesting silky sensation, with an explosion of pleasant aromas (mostly red berries) inthe mouth. It has a lovely finish making it a rather well balanced wine with good length.
A real bargain at the current price.
