Tasting notes
The wine is purple-ruby in color. The taste of wine is rich, round, well balanced, with soft tannins, hints of blackcurrant and strawberry and light spicy nuances in a long aftertaste. The bright aroma of wine intertwines shades of black fruits, vanilla, cherries, raspberries, as well as nuances of smoked meats and toast.
