Deep ruby ​​color in the glass.

Complex nose with aromas of plum jam, cherry, and sour cherry combined with rose and violet on a background of sweet spices. Toffee, cotton candy, and herbal hints of grass complete the rich aromatic profile.

Rich mouth, full of tension. The nicely integrated sweetness balances the elaborately pronounced acidity which lightens the palate, while the distinct tannins add special interest. Cherry, raspberry, and caramel insist on the remarkably long aftertaste.
