Score: ✧✧✧✧ |
The wine shows an intense ruby red color and nuances of garnet red, little
transparency. The nose denotes intense, clean and elegant aromas such as
black cherry jam, blackberry jam, plum and dried violet followed by
caramel, white pepper, cocoa, walnut and vanilla. In mouth reveals good
correspondence to the nose, a tannic attack well balanced by alcohol,
intense flavors and full body. The finish is persistent with pleasing
flavors of plum, blackberry jam and black cherry jam. This wine is aged
for 12 months in steel tanks followed by 4-5 years of aging in cask. |
