The wine is clear and bright with a medium garnet colour and presence of dense legs. The nose is clean and developing, showing medium- intensity somewhat simple aromas of dark cherries, blue flowers such as violets, lavender and liquorice. The wine is dry in the mouth with a medium acidity. It has medium stalky tannins and a medium alcohol. It has a medium body and medium intensity flavours of dark cherries, violets, lavender and liquorice. The finish is medium.
It is a good quality wine with a decent flavour concentration and finish, but it lacks complexity and the harsh tannins are not well-balanced, it would need more fruit concentration or alcohol to soften them. Can drink now, but it has enough tannic structure and some fruit concentration to develop a bit more of complexity in the next 1-2 years.
