Medium+ intensity nose is quite complex, offering smoky, tobacco, black cherry, red and black fruits, with hints of herbs, currant, and cassis notes, all coming through nicely on the medium-bodied palate. Tannins are smooth and supple, while acids are nicely balanced. Very good length on the finish. Tasted Aug/2019.
