  Appearance: Bright and clear, medium (+) ruby in color, with paler rims and legs.
  Nose: Clean, medium (+) intensity and having developing aromas of blackberry, blackcurrant, prune, violet and cinnamon.
  Palate: Dry with medium (+) acidity, the wine is of medium (+) tannin, with medium alcohol and medium body, showing medium intensity flavors of black cherry, blackberry, smoke, prune and cinnamon, with medium length.
  Conclusion: Good quality Bordeaux mid-price red with good floral and fruit on a fairly intense nose, showing reasonable complexity. A lively and refreshing acidity on palate, though the tannin is a bit too powdery and not smooth enough. Finishing with a reasonable length, this wine is ready to drink now but can further develop for another 2-3 years.
