“Bright red-ruby color. Redcurrant, plum, chocolate, tobacco, red licorice and spicy oak on the nose, plus an intriguing hint of stony minerality. Plump and fine-grained in the mouth; a step up in energy over the Trutina. Flavors of red berries, dark cherry, spices and red licorice show good medicinal reserve. Finishes with slightly dusty tannins, good grip and nice length.”
