Dark garnet color. Medicinal aromas of medicinal herbs, blueberries with cocoa, aloe lotion, and pine sap with a satiny, bright, dryish medium-to-full body and a smooth, amusing, medium-long marinated beets, dried eucalyptus, and spiced nuts finish with chewy, crunchy tannins and moderate oak flavor. A very interesting herbal GSM with great table appeal; serve with spicy Mediterranean dishes.
