In terms of appearance, this shows a translucent, deep ruby color. The bouquet offers high-toned aromas of crushed red raspberry and currant as well as a pungent citrus oil note. The palate gains depth, showing flavors of red fruits combined with cedar, resin and a subtle nutty note that feels to me like the nuttiness one would sense when biting into a fully ripe grape pip. The wine is elegantly proportioned, offering medium body and balanced acidity which carries the flavors into the long finish. This can be enjoyed young but should repay cellaring.
