The wine is a tawny red color with an amber hue due to its advanced maturity. The nose is spirited and lively, with an array of fruit and nut aromas such as grapefruit, apricot, almond and hazelnut. It reveals spices of cinnamon, caramel, coffee, cocoa, and rich vanilla oak. The wine is charming and velvety on the palate, with a complex sequence of ripe dry fruit followed by a languorous finish.
