Cabernet Sauvignon
Red Wine	Score: ✧✧✧✧✭

The wine shows a brilliant ruby red color and nuances of garnet red, moderate transparency. The nose denotes intense, clean, elegant, pleasing and refined aromas that start with aromas of dried violet, black cherry jam and plum jam followed by good aromas of raspberry jam, blueberry, licorice, dried rose and pleasing hints of vanilla, menthol and leather. In the mouth has good correspondence to the nose, a slightly tannic attack however well balanced by alcohol, full body and intense flavors. The finish is persistent with good flavors of plum jam, black cherry jam and blueberry. A well made wine. This Cabernet Sauvignon ages for 12 months in barrique followed by 12-18 months in bottle.
