Дълбок гранатов цвят с пурпурни отенъци. Носът е богат, но сдържан, усещат се различни тъмни горски пловоде - къпини, боровински, черни череши, сливи, обвити от меки земни тонове (пръст). Вкусът е многостепенен. Започва с плодовете, допълва се от леки тютюневи и шоколадови нотки и завършва с лека пикантност на езика. Танините са хармонични. Вино от много висока класа, може би е на края на свежестта си - ако имате, пийте го скоро!
