Score: ✧✧✧✧✭ |
This wine shows a deep ruby red color and nuances of garnet red,
impenetrable to light. The nose reveals intense, clean, pleasing and
refined aromas which start with hints of black cherry jam, blackberry jam
and plum jam followed by aromas of blueberry, dried violet, vanilla, carob,
cinnamon, licorice and tobacco. In the mouth has good correspondence to the
nose, a tannic attack and pleasing crispness, however well balanced by
alcohol, full body, intense flavors, good tannins. The finish is persistent
with flavors of plum jam and blackberry jam. A well made wine. Kebir ages
for 12 months in barrique.
