Score: ✧✧✧✭ |
The wine shows a brilliant ruby red color and nuances of brick red,
moderate transparency. The nose denotes intense, clean, pleasing and
refined aromas which start with hints of cherry, tamarind and vanilla
followed by aromas of strawberry, raspberry, plum and cyclamen. The mouth
has good correspondence to the nose, a slightly tannic attack and however
balanced by alcohol, good body, intense flavors. The finish is persistent
with flavors of cherry, raspberry and plum. Vajasindi Làvico ages for 12
months in barrique followed by at least 6 months of aging in bottle.
