The wine shows a brilliant ruby red color and nuances of purple red, moderate transparency. The nose denotes intense, clean and pleasing aromas which start with hints of black cherry and pomegranate followed by aromas of blueberry, blackberry, plum, cyclamen and vanilla. The mouth has good correspondence to the nose, a slightly tannic attack and pleasing crispness, however balanced by alcohol, good body, intense flavors. The finish is persistent with flavors of blueberry and black cherry. This wine ages for 10 months in casks.
