 Intense ruby red and nuances of garnet red, little transparency.
 Intense, clean, pleasing, refined and elegant, starts with hints of black currant, black cherry and plum followed by aromas of blueberry, dried violet, vanilla, chocolate, tobacco, licorice, mace, leather and eucalyptus.
 Tannic attack and however balanced by alcohol, full body, intense flavors, agreeable.
 Persistent finish with flavors of black currant, black cherry and plum.

A very well made wine. You can smell Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon and this is a good quality. When you can tell the grapes by just smelling the wine it is a very good quality.
Good balance with Merlot's smoothness and Cabernet Sauvignon's body well mixed and giving a very good finish. You can tell it is a wine aged in wood but it is very balanced and mild. |
