Score: ✧✧✧✧✧ |
Simply a great wine. This wine has an intense ruby red color and nuances
of purplish red, little transparency. The nose reveals great personality
with clean, elegant and refined aromas. There can be perceived aromas of
black cherry jam, blueberry and black currant followed by licorice, eucalyptus,
coffee, vanilla and toasted. The mouth denotes excellent correspondence to
the nose, excellent balance and full body. The finish is very persistent
with long and pleasing hints of black cherry jam and black currant.
Exceptional wine.
