Score: ✧✧✧✧ |
The wine shows an intense ruby red color and nuances of garnet red, little
transparency. The nose reveals intense, clean, pleasing and refined aromas
which start with hints of plum, black cherry and blackberry followed by
aromas of black currant, violet, vanilla, tobacco, licorice, chocolate,
pink pepper, menthol and hints of enamel. The mouth has good correspondence
to the nose, a tannic attack and however balance by alcohol, full body,
intense flavors, agreeable. The finish is persistent with flavors of black
cherry, blackberry and plum. A well made wine. Modus ages for 16-18 months
in barrique followed by at least 8 months of aging in bottle.
