Score: ✧✧✧✧ |
The wine shows a beautiful and intense ruby red color and nuances of ruby
red, little transparency. The nose reveals intense, pleasing, clean and
elegant aromas of black cherry, blueberry, plum, black currant, violet and
carob followed by pleasing and good aromas of licorice, bell pepper and
vanilla. In the mouth has good correspondence to the nose, a slightly
tannic attack however balanced by alcohol, intense flavors and good body.
The finish is persistent with good flavors of plum, black cherry and
blueberry. A well made wine. Occhiorosso ages in cask.
