Appearance: Light to medium deep ruby red color with a glossy rim.
Aroma: Distinct and clean aroma of red berries (raspberries, cherries), fresh violets, woodland undergrowth, and faint cedarwood notes, with earthy nuances.
Palate: Medium-bodied with a taut and elegant structure. Flavors of ripe red fruits, undergrowth, subtle herbal notes, and a mineral finish. The tannins are finely grained, and the freshness leads to a long-lasting and subtly unfolding complexity.
Finish: Very long and precise finish with a pronounced mineral note, freshness, and a refined fruity-spiced echo.
