Score: ✧✧✧✧✭ |
The wine has an intense ruby red color and nuances of ruby red,
little transparency. The nose reveals good personality with intense,
elegant and clean aromas of black cherry, cocoa, fennel, strawberry,
raspberry, licorice, blackberry, coconut, plum and vanilla with hints
of mint. In mouth is very balanced and very correspondent to the
nose, good body and clean and intense flavors. The finish is
persistent with agreeable and clean flavors of blackberry, plum and
black cherry. A well made wine produced with macerating skins for 15
days and aged in barrique for about 18 months followed by an aging in
bottle for 12-14 months.
