  Pale garnet colored, clear. There is medium sediment in the bottle. The wine shows very intense aromas (or, more realistically, there is an explosion of aromas) of, mainly, ripe strawberry and rose hip, some forest floor and notes of toasted oak. Due to the complexity of aromas, it is hard to describe all of them but, there might be some hints of raspberry, cherry and red currant. The intense aromas fill the whole space of a large Burgundy glass.
  The wine has a velvety texture. Little, well integrated acidity. Sometimes, some hints of ripe, well integrated tannin. It is medium to full bodied, mouth filling, and has a long finish.
  Drinking this wine is a heavenly, sensual experience. It is a top wine, well balanced, a really fine and extremely elegant, yet, a powerful wine. Despite its age (probably, some years beyond its peak), it still very nicely shows its youthful, fruity aromas.
