The wine shows a ruby red color and nuances of purplish red, moderate transparency. The nose reveals pleasing aromas, clean and elegant, mainly of fruit, such as black cherry, strawberry, raspberry and blackberry followed by eucalyptus, violet and vanilla. In mouth has good correspondence to the nose, full bodied and good balance between tannins and alcohol. The finish is persistent with evident hints of raspberry, strawberry and black cherry.
