This 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 blackberry and plum jam followed by aromas of black cherry, bell pepper, violet, licorice and carob. In the mouth has good correspondence to the nose, a slightly tannic attack and however balanced, good body, intense flavors. The finish is persistent with flavors of blackberry and black cherry. This wine ages in barrique.
