Clear, deep ruby. Only very slight fading at the rim. Clean, medium to pronounced nose of sweet roses, some red and black cherries, plum, nutmeg, cloves. Hints of capsicum, cigar box. Very complex. Developing. Dry, high acidity, medium+ tannins (very silky and smooth). More cherries and plum on the palate. Medium alcohol. Medium+ body. Long polished and sweet finish with some mandarin peel notes at the very end. Outstanding. Premium priced. Wait for at least another 5-8 years. Bravo.
