Description

Intense ruby red color. On the palate it is a balanced, persistent, fruity but dry wine. The full and rich aroma offers an admirable interweaving of red berry and black cherry notes with spicy hints, all finished off with aromas of tobacco, wood and licorice. Generous, full and enveloping on the palate, supported and guided by ripe and lively tannins that progress into a pleasantly long and persistent finish.
