Score: ✧✧✧ |
The wine shows a brilliant ruby red color and nuances of ruby red,
moderate transparency. The nose reveals intense, clean and pleasing aromas
which start with hints of cherry and raspberry followed by aromas of
black cherry, strawberry, blueberry, violet and a pleasing hints of
vanilla. In the mouth has good correspondence to the nose, a slightly
tannic attack however balanced, intense flavors and good body. The finish
is persistent with flavors of black cherry and blueberry. This wine ages
for 3 months in cask and for 3 months in bottle.
