Red Wine	Score: ✧✧✧

The wine shows a brilliant ruby red color and nuances of purple red, moderate transparency. The nose reveals intense, clean and pleasing aromas which start with hints of black berry and plum followed by aromas of raspberry, blueberry, black currant and violet. The mouth has good correspondence to the nose, a slightly tannic attack and however balanced by alcohol, good body, intense flavors. The finish is persistent with flavors of black cherry and plum. This wine ages in steel tanks.
