Score: ✧✧✧✧✧ |
Intense ruby red color and nuances of garnet red, little transparency.
Intense, clean, pleasing, refined and elegant. starts with hints of plum, black currant and black cherry followed by aromas of dried violet, blackberry, blueberry, vanilla, licorice, chocolate, tobacco, leather, mace and eucalyptus.
Properly tannic attack and however balanced by alcohol, full body, intense flavors, pleasing roundness.
Very persistent finish with long flavors of plum, black currant and black cherry.
12 months in barrique, at least 36 months in bottle.
