The wine looks violet colored. The legs are medium. There is no sediment in the bottle. It smells like toast, prune, cherry, flint, lead pencil and carnation. It tastes like prune, cherry, medium toast, clove and honeysuckle. The body is medium/full. The wine has silky texture. The wine finishes medium. The wine has medium acidity.
