Score: ✧✧✧✭ |
This wine shows an intense ruby red color and nuances of ruby red, moderate
transparency. The nose reveals intense, clean, pleasing and refined aromas
which start with hints of plum, black currant and black cherry followed by
aromas of violet, vanilla, tobacco and carob. The mouth has good
correspondence to the nose, a tannic attack and however balanced by
alcohol, good body, intense flavors, pleasing roundness. The finish is
persistent with flavors of plum, black currant and black cherry. This wine
ages for 6 months in cask followed by 3 months of aging in steel tanks. |
