Cork very delicate, well soaked. This wine was stored in unknown conditions but reportedly not well. Yet it is still going strong. Medium garnet color. Complex nose of tobacco leaf, rose, and soft red fruit. Medium bodied on the palate, delicate but with very good presence and length, juicy and well balanced.
