This wine shows a brilliant salmon pink color and nuances of pale pink, transparent. The nose denotes intense, clean, pleasing and refined aromas which start with hints of raspberry, strawberry and cherry followed by aromas of peach, cyclamen and plum. The mouth has good correspondence to the nose, a crisp attack and however balanced by alcohol, good body, intense flavors, agreeable. The finish is persistent with flavors of strawberry, raspberry and cherry. Five Roses ages in steel tanks.
