Red Wine	Score: ✧✧✧✧

The wine shows an intense ruby red color and nuances of ruby red, little transparency. The nose denotes intense, clean, pleasing and refined aromas which start with hints of raspberry, blackberry and cherry followed by aromas of blueberry, plum, violet, cyclamen, violet, vanilla and pink pepper. The mouth has good correspondence to the nose, a tannic attack and pleasing crispness, however balanced by alcohol, good body, intense flavors. The finish is persistent with flavors of cherry, raspberry and plum. A well made wine.
