Score: ✧✧✧✧ |
The wine shows a brilliant ruby red color and nuances of garnet red, little
transparency. The nose denotes intense, clean, pleasing and refined aromas
which start with hints of black cherry, plum and blueberry followed by
aromas of black currant, violet, vanilla, licorice, tobacco and eucalyptus.
The mouth has good correspondence to the nose, a slightly tannic attack and
pleasing roundness, however balanced by alcohol, good body, intense
flavors, good tannins. The finish is persistent with flavors of black
cherry, black currant and plum. This wine ages in barrique.
