Tasting Notes
Deep ruby red with garnet highlights.
Elegant and refined, with red-fruit notes of mulberry and blackberry. Hints of myrtle accompany aromas of bitter cocoa, tobacco, and a cool menthol touch. The wood is well integrated. The wine's freshness is its signature trait, making it ideal for very long aging.
