Well done, pleasant and tasty. At the sight it has a ruby red color just more concentrated than usual while on the nose the most typical hints are mixed with spicy and woody notes. On the palate it is muscular and a little rough so ideal to be enjoyed with just fatty food. Perfect as an accompaniment to meat dishes.
