The very bright, luminous and limpid garnet color is the clearest of the lot. Distinct fruit scents dominate the aroma which has not yet fully aged and is still young. There are notes of black cherry, sour cherry, raspberry, porcino mushroom and some cardamom spice hints as well as those of black Kentucky tobacco. A wonderful acidity upholds an agile, lively body with severe, austere and yet non-aggressive tannins which complete a very taut and elegant mouthfeel.
