Deep garnet, almost translucent but with slight haze. Dominant dried cranberries and herbs aroma with background cherry. Slight licorice and fresh cut grass. Nice balance of fine tannins, acidity and alcohol. Red plums, cranberries followed by dried leather and hint of dried herbs. Supple, medium bodied with slightly sweet palate. Good for lightly grilled or braised chicken or veal with herbs.

Aggressive, but mellowing, still many years from developing its final character.
