| Tasting: |
Deep ruby color. Concentrated nose with a flattering woodiness where we find delicate scents of cigar box and mocha. The palate is well balanced with aromas of small red fruits, blackcurrant, redcurrant, and notes of fine spices (cinnamon). The tannins are voluptuous, from grapes harvested at perfect maturity |
