Score: ✧✧✧✧✧ |
The wine shows a beautiful and intense ruby red color and nuances of
garnet red, moderate transparency. The nose reveals great personality
with clean and elegant aromas. There can be perceived intense and
good aromas of black cherry, chocolate, blueberry jam, blackberry jam,
plum jam, licorice, vanilla, dried violet and a pleasing hint of
black pepper. The mouth denotes an excellent correspondence to the
nose and an impeccable balance, full body and intense flavors. The
finish is very persistent and long with pleasing flavors of blackberry,
black cherry and plum. A great wine. Turriga is aged in barrique for
18 months.
