Fairly intense ruby red. Young, fruity and slightly herbaceous, with a harmonious bouquet that ranges from berries (especially blueberries and blackcurrants) to violets, plums, cherries, tomato leaves, fennel and rhubarb. You can also detect some medicinal herbs such as mint and thyme, and a distant balsamic note that fades into pine. On the palate it is broad and deep, medium-bodied, juicy and dripping with blackberries and cherries. The tannins are light and velvety and balance with the hints of undergrowth in a soft and enveloping sip. The acidity tends to be low. To be accompanied with mixed platters of cold cuts and cheeses, salami in vinegar, brovada and muset, red meats, roasts, poultry, mature cheeses.
