Tasting notes
Intense ruby red wine. The taste of the wine is powerful and full-bodied, but with an excellent balance between strength and elegance, with juicy fruit, firm and expressive tannins, but without any astringency, well-integrated acidity. The finish is long, fresh, on berries. The wine has a fresh and expressive aroma with notes of black cherries, blueberries, blackberries and violets, edged with streaks of smoke and smoked meat.
