It presents with a ruby red color that tends to be garnet-colored. The olfactory profile opens with notes of cherry, wild strawberries and red fruits, evolving towards floral nuances (dried violets and pink roses), liquorice, aromatic herbs and a distinct mineral/ferrous undertone. On the palate it is austere and powerful but never heavy. It exhibits dense and fine tannins combined with persistent acidity and a salty, almost bloodsy finish.
