TASTING NOTES:
Bright red cherry colour with ruby hints, it has also a good intense deep colour with a violet rim. The oak ageing has been cautious to achieve a good balance between the aromas from the oak and those coming from the ripe fruit and wild fruits as well. It develops a good balance at the palate coming from the sweet and elegant tannins.
