Tasting notes

The wine has a beautiful intense ruby-violet color, typical of a strong concentration. The nose is expressive and very flattering with notes of ripe fruits, jammy and blond tobacco. In the mouth, softness and a nice structure attack with a dominance of fresh fruits. The mouth becomes more complex with the melting wood notes which mix with leather and black olive notes. Beautiful amplitude due to the aromatic intensity, supported by the concentration of the tannins, well structured and integrated, which do not present any aggressiveness. Overall rich and silky.
