Score: ✧✧✧✧✧ |
Mater Matuta shows an intense ruby red color and nuances of ruby red,
little transparency. The nose reveals intense, clean, pleasing, refined and
elegant aromas which start with hints of black cherry, plum and black
currant followed by aromas of vanilla, violet, blueberry, black pepper,
chocolate, tobacco, licorice, mace and eucalyptus. The mouth has excellent
correspondence to the nose, a tannic attack and however balanced by
alcohol, full body, intense flavors, agreeable. The finish is very
persistent with long flavors of black cherry, black currant and plum. A
well made wine. Mater Matuta ages for 22-24 months in barrique followed by
6-8 months of aging in bottle.
