The nose shows a very fruit forward wine with clwar notes of black fruits ( black berries and black cheery) in harmony with secondary aromas of licorice and aroma of  wet leaves. The nose also shows some use of old oak. The palate confirms the nose with a black fruit juice and licorice with some complexity but overall a simple wine.
