Moderate deep ruby-red with a black hue, slightly hazy, lighter on the rim. The nose is soft and grounded; nuances of savoury earth, ash, florals intermix mulberries, cherries, unveiling cinnamon bark and lifted fragrance. Medium-full bodied, aromas of mulberries, red cherries have a sweet, pure expression, melded with ash, earth, savoury fruit. As the wine aerated, subtle wildflower fragrances, cinnamon, nutmeg spices unveil, lend a tranquil, lengthy closing. The wine has a 'zen' factor, a complex range of flavours melded harmoniously, showing purity and calm energy. Acidity is integrated; finely extracted tannin leaves a powdery, silky mouthfeel.
