Tasting note
This wine presents a very ruby red color. The nose is dominated by black fruits with black cherry very much to the fore and by coffee aromas with hints of Chinese tea.
The mid palate has the sweetness of ripe fruit and rounded tannins. The richness is well balanced by some bilberry freshness. This wine can be drunk now or aged for a while.
