Tasting Notes
Intense ruby red color.
On the nose it shows alluring aromas of ripe red berries and delicate spices.
On the palate the full body is gratifying and persistent, with outstanding minerality. Remarkable tannins, soft and creamy in texture, give concentration and aging potential to this wine.
