Tasting Notes

Very intense ruby red color almost impenetrable. Very wide aromas with hints of red and black berry fruit, chocolate, tobacco, cassis and evident spiciness, elegant and persistent finish. When tasted it is expressed with a powerful structure but also with a measured balance, a full, fine and balanced taste with silky, dense, voluminous tannins, juicy and balanced accompanied by a fresh acidity that extends into long and persistent fruity, floral and spicy notes. Deep and elegant finish.
