The wine shows a brilliant ruby red color and nuances of garnet red,
moderate transparency. The nose reveals intense, clean, pleasing and
refined aromas which start with hints of black cherry, plum and violet
followed by aromas of blackberry, dried rose, licorice, cinnamon, menthol,
vanilla and hints of coffee. In the mouth has good correspondence to the
nose, a slightly tannic attack and pleasing crispness, however balanced by
alcohol, good body, intense flavors, good tannins. The finish is
persistent with flavors of black cherry and plum. This wine ages for 4
years in cask and for one year in bottle.
