This wine has a very dark red color, almost black. It opens with an intense bouquet with deep aromas of blackcurrant and blackberry. On the palate, we perceive structure and finesse. It has elegant, silky tannins, where black cherry and blackcurrant dominate, tinged with touches of cedar and tobacco. |
