Tasting notes
This wine presents beautiful red and purple tones in the glass. Red and purple fruits continue on the palate supported by a rich earthy undertone and fine silky tannins giving the wine great structure, great length and lingering flavor. Rich and vibrant aromas of blackcurrant and heather fruit with hints of vanilla oak and spices. A wine of great vitality in its youth with the potential to develop for many years.
