Very deep, rich, full-flavoured wine. It has to settle down AT LEAST 5-6 hours before tasting, otherwise and strong scent of alcohol will ruin your experience. This wine has to breathe a lot. When ready to serve, it offers a strong cherry flavour with touches of wood and a slight acidity. Very good with meat and spiced meals. Not a huge classic, but a very decent pick off the shelf.
