Gentle and delicate, very persistent preserved apple and stone fruit on the palate, quite full-bodied, delicate bitter notes, some herbs and pimento in the background, integrated acidity, voluminous, very ripe, indeed slightly overripe fruit, shows its origin and has clear varietal character, very slightly tannic on a long finish.
