Medium to light red, faint purple. More floral scented nose, but nothing great. Palate far superior: smooth, rich, supple and rounded; silky texture, voluptuous, unctuous wine; utterly delish! Gorgeous flavour and texture, balance and length. This is top mataro! Rip-snorter! Possibly the best I've seen under this label. Dark fruits, spices and herbs flecked with dark chocolate.
