Red Wine	Score: ✧✧✧✭

The wine has a brilliant ruby red color and nuances of garnet red, moderate transparency. The nose reveals good and intense aromas mainly of fruit such as black cherry, blueberry, plum and black currant followed by aromas of licorice, violet and vanilla. In the mouth denotes a tannic attack which tends to slightly prevail over balance, however alcohol balances well. The wine is intense and full bodied with good correspondence to the nose. The finish is persistent with hints of black cherry and plum.
