Score: ✧✧✧✧ |
The wine shows an intense ruby red color and nuances of garnet red, little
transparency. The nose reveals intense, clean, pleasing and refined aromas
that start with hints of toasted wood and black currant followed by aromas
of black cherry, blueberry, licorice, plum, tobacco, chocolate and
eucalyptus. In the mouth has good correspondence to the nose, a slightly
tannic attack and however well balanced by alcohol, good body, intense
flavors, good tannins. The finish is persistent with flavors of black
cherry, plum and black currant. This wine ages for 18 months in cask.
