"Medium ruby-garnet with orange highlights and a broad lightening at the rim. On the nose, delicate leafy plum fruit, with red berry nuances and orange zest. At first somewhat brittle on the palate, yet showing present tannins, medium texture, orange notes again, dark fruit, and herbal spice notes in the finish, with bitter chocolate as well completing the finish; still has some potential, and is a characterful food companion."
