The color is very deep. The wine's aroma takes some time to develop, with extremely pure blackberry, raspberry, and blackcurrant scents perfectly blending with the oak notes. The palate is very balanced, with fresh acidity, fine-grained tannins, and a hint of saltiness, and the finish is more gripping than in previous years. Superb.
