Deep brick-red colour. Spicy and lightly aromatic nose with hints of red candied berries, leather and a touch floral high notes. Medium bodied in the mouth. Good concentration. The same slightly sweet and candied red berries, spices and leather is found in the fruit. Perhaps a bit simple. Medium content of acids. Little tannins. Good length. A fine rouchet, but I have had them better. Perhaps give it a couple of more years in the cellar.
