TASTING NOTES: Ruby red color with garnet reflections. On the nose it shows an amplitude of illustrious elegance. Praiseworthy spices fade into jam, sweet and candied fruits. Orange peels dipped in dark chocolate are a more than surprising treat. Blackberries, mulberries, and raspberries are a juicy, summery touch. The finish is reminiscent of cocoa with small notes of cappuccino. The sip is decidedly voluminous. The tannin, particularly soft and enveloping, creates a balance of the senses in perfect harmony. With a long and persistent finish, it masterfully satisfies all the senses.
