This wine is soft, supple and smooth, but not lacking for flavor. Predominant fruit notes recall plums as well as red and black cherries, with backnotes of vanilla and spices. Medium bodied, it shows very silky tannins. A great sipping red, but with enough guts to stand up to lamb leg or roast beef.
