Garnet black color. Aromas of dried cherries, foraged mushrooms, rose hip jam, tomato leaf, and paprika with a silky, crisp, dryish medium body and a smooth, complex, medium-long dried leaves, leather, cherry tart, and tonka bean finish with a suggestion of oak flavor. A luxuriously textured Chianti that will fit in very nicely at the table.
