Score: ✧✧✧✭ |
The wine shows a good and brilliant ruby red color with a good
transparency. Wine's bouquet is mainly and evidently of fruit and
aromas of wood are delicate and integrated, according to winery's
philosophy. Aromas are clean and intense of fruit such as black cherry,
blackberry, black cherry jam, plum jam as well as licorice and vanilla.
The flavor is intense and balanced, tannins are evident although well
integrated. Wine's finish is persistent with good hints of black cherry
and blackberry. This reserve is produced with long maceration in skins
and it is aged for 10 months in casks and 6 months in bottle.
