It is mainly fruity, with concentrated raspberry syrup and black cherry, then layers and layers of tertiary aromas like cedar, chocolate, herbs, graphite, and underwood. It has a full body and intense flavours. Tannins are ripe and delicate. It stays with you for a long time, with a refreshing and balsamic finish.
