Score: ✧✧✧✭ |
The wine shows an intense ruby red color and nuances of ruby red, little
transparency. The nose reveals intense, clean and pleasing aromas which
start with hints of black cherry jam, plum jam and toasted wood followed
by aromas of carob, blueberry, dried violet, licorice and vanilla. In the
mouth has good correspondence to the nose, a slightly tannic attack and
pleasingly crisp however balanced by alcohol, good body, intense flavors.
The finish is persistent with flavors of plum jam and blueberry.
