Score: ✧✧✧✧ |
This wine shows an intense ruby red color and nuances of ruby red, little
transparency. The nose reveals intense, clean, pleasing and refined aromas
which start with hints of black cherry, plum and blackberry followed by
aromas of blueberry, vanilla, tobacco, licorice, coffee, carob and anise.
The mouth has good correspondence to the nose, a slightly tannic attack and
however balanced by alcohol, good body, intense flavors. The finish is
persistent with flavors of black cherry, plum and blackberry. This wine
ages for 12 months in barrique. |
