Color of ruby and purple. Nose of dark fruits, such as blackberries, vanilla, strength of alcohol, some ripe strawberries and sweet currants. Nose is pretty good and attractive. Taste follows the nose with good mix of acidity and sweetness, ripe grape, mellow tannins, and bit grapefruit, and a bit more bittersweet. Aftertaste shows some more bitter note. Pretty clean yet too sweet for me.
