Score: ✧✧✧✧✧ |
A great wine. This wine shows an intense ruby red color and nuances of
ruby red, little transparency. The nose has great personality with
intense, clean, pleasing and elegant aromas of black cherry jam,
blueberry, plum, black currant, violet, cyclamen, carob and black pepper
followed by good aromas of vanilla, cocoa, licorice and eucalyptus. In
mouth is smooth, round and very balanced with excellent correspondence to
the nose, intense flavors and full body. The finish is very persistent
with long and clean flavors of black cherry, plum, black currant, plum and
blueberry. A very well made wine. Mater Matuta ages in barrique for 22-24
months followed by 6-8 months of aging in bottle.
