These same characters are also evident on the palate and prevail with a smooth glycerol impact, following through to the mid palate with fruity tannin.. The structure has an accent on fine structure and a gritty long fruit tannin.

- Bright, full ruby. Expressive aromas of blackberry, violet pastille, shoe polish, licorice and pepper. Dense, rich and nicely concentrated, with a slightly exotic viognier aspect. Finishes with slightly dry, building tannins.
