Intense ruby red colour, with marked and lively purple edges when young. The aroma is clean, distinctly fruity, with hints of berries, such as blackberry and raspberry, initially; as it matures, the bouquet is enriched with new sensations, becoming ethereal and delicately vanilla-like. In the mouth it reveals a balanced tannicity, accompanied by a full and continuous texture. The taste is velvety and enveloping.
