Dark bright ruby in color. An inviting almost silky nose is marked by prominent fruit aromas of plum, dark cherry, and raspberry which float above and around more subtle glimpses of vanilla bean and clove and nutmeg spice. In the mouth, that same juicy primary fruit and vanilla bean character show again this time alongside flavours of mocha and a faint graphite core. All of this is enveloped and pinned in just enough by some present but soft tannins ensuring some genuine balance and providing the wine with an almost velvet mouthfeel.
