Light mix of garnet and ruby red. Light and elegant nose with lavender, floral, cinnamon and cherries. Some dirtiness and greenery too. Medium acidity (6.5/10) and medium bodied. A bit funky in the palate with some smoky notes. More notes of boiled cherries, minerality, raspberries, spices and anise. Medium plus finish.
