Nose: Medium aromatic intensity, mostly red fruits almost cooked, charred wood and tar.

Palate: Earthy, mushroom and tobacco with intense oaky notes. Medium to high acidity, medium-hard tannins, medium body, and medium aftertaste. 

Drink or Hold: The ageing in a cellar would help develop a better balance.
