Cabernet Sauvignon
Red Wine	Score: ✧✧✧✧✭

The wine shows a beautiful and intense ruby red color and nuances of ruby red, little transparency. The nose reveals personality and pleasing, clean, intense and refined aromas of black cherry, blueberry jam, plum jam, black currant and bell pepper followed by good and intense aromas of cocoa, leather, eucalyptus, tobacco and vanilla. In the mouth has good correspondence to the nose, an evident tannic attack however balanced by alcohol, full body, intense flavors. The finish is persistent with clean flavors of black currant, black cherry and blueberry. A very well made wine which will give its best with a further aging in bottle. This Cabernet Sauvignon ages in barrique for 18-20 months followed by a further aging in bottle.
