The nose shows red plums and raspberry, deep red fruits with a bit of candied effect. The palate shows blue fruits, blueberry and elderberry, paired with a high-toned red fruit tartness.

The color is nearly opaque, tinted blue-purple around the edges. The nose shows tobacco leaf, black currant, and rich cherries. On the palate, raspberry is added to the fruits found on the nose.
