Red Wine	Score: ✧✧✧✧✭

The wine shows a brilliant ruby red color and nuances of purplish red, little transparency. The nose denotes elegance with clean, refined and intense aromas of black cherry, raspberry, blueberry, plum and black currant followed by licorice, violet and vanilla. In mouth reveals full body with good correspondence to the nose. The attack is pretty alcoholic however well balanced by tannins. The finish is persistent with hints of black cherry, plum and black currant. This wine is aged in American oak barrels until it is being bottled.
