Clear and luminous ruby-red with purple highlights. Intense and clean, with rich initial floral notes of fragrant violets that linger on, along with aromas of fresh cherry fruit. Smooth, with an agreeable warm sensation, balanced by a refreshing crispness. The tannins are present, ripe and well integrated into the body. The finish is very long and displays the cherry fragrances encountered on the nose. Serve with medium-aged cheeses, white and red meats and ethnic cuisines.
