Tasting notes

It has a vibrant ruby red color with slight brick-red hues. On the nose, it offers the complex, intense aromas of a well-aged wine that has spent several years in the bottle: very ripe red fruits, vanilla, sweet spices, and wild herbs. On the palate, it is a very well-balanced wine with a refined, clean, and elegant body and a long, pleasant finish.
