Score: ✧✧✧✧ |
The wine has an enchanting and intense ruby red color with nuances of
garnet red, moderate transparency. In the nose denotes, from the very
beginning, a refined and elegant personality, clean and with well
defined aromas and well perceivable. The bouquet has intense and
agreeable aromas of fruit such as black cherry, plum jam and
black-currant jam in a perfect balance with aromas of toasted wood and
vanilla, followed by good aromas of leather, cocoa, menthol,
underbrush, violet and coconut. The wine also expresses a very good
personality in the mouth, it is intense with flavors of fruit; alcohol
is perfectly balanced by tannins as well as by its full body. The
finish is persistent and elegant with nice flavors of black cherry and
plum jam. A great wine, very well done that could also be rich of nice
surprises with some years of refining in bottle. The wine is aged for
12 months in new barriques.
