Ruby red colour with a garnet hints.The nose shows small, sweet and very mature wild beries followed by notes of helichrysum, catmint beautifully wrapped by mentholated balsamic notes. Juicy and intriguing on the palate where ripe fruit leaves room for a long lasting final flavor. Great to drink now but with good potential for evolution.
