Score: ✧✧✧✧ |
The wine shows a brilliant ruby red color and nuances of garnet red,
moderate transparency. The nose reveals intense, clean, elegant and
refined aromas of black cherry jam, blueberry jam, plum jam, raspberry,
dried violet followed by good aromas of vanilla, cocoa and caramel. In
mouth has a good balance and smooth and pleasing tannins, good
correspondence to the nose, intense flavors and good body. The finish is
persistent with clean and agreeable flavors of black cherry, blueberry and
plum. A well made wine. Arlèo is aged for 14 months in barrique and for 24
months in casks followed by 8-12 months of aging in bottle. |
