The wine shows an intense ruby red color and nuances of ruby red, little transparency. The nose reveals intense, clean, pleasing and refined aromas that start with hints of black cherry, plum and black currant followed by aromas of blueberry, vanilla, licorice, tobacco, bell pepper, eucalyptus, cocoa, black pepper and hints of coffee. The mouth has good correspondence to the nose, a tannic attack and however balanced by alcohol, full body, intense flavors.
