Tasting note
This wine presents a very dark red color. The nose offers a very large range of red berries aromas with some notes of vanilla and spices.
In mouth, it reveals an obvious generosity through ripe and elegant tannins as well as a good complexity and well balanced. Very rich and full as well as supple, this wine has the potential to age.
