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 jam and cherry
followed by aromas of raspberry, dried plum, dried violet, licorice,
tobacco, cocoa, vanilla and hints of menthol. In the mouth has good
correspondence to the nose, a slightly tannic attack and however balanced
by alcohol, good body, intense, flavors, good tannins, agreeable. The
finish is persistent with flavors of plum and black cherry jam. This wine
ages in barrique for 12 months and for 6 months in bottle.
