Score: ✧✧✧ |
The wine shows a brilliant ruby red color and nuances of garnet red,
moderate transparency. The nose denotes intense, clean and pleasing aromas
that start with hints of black cherry, cyclamen and raspberry followed by
aromas of blueberry, violet, vanilla and cinnamon. In 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 black cherry and raspberry. This wine ages for 6-8 months in
cask followed by 10 months of aging in bottle.
