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.

A nice and intense violin-ruby red
robe which is typical of a strong concentration. The
nose is expressive, fruity and very pleasing with
ripe/jammy fruits and blond tobacco notes. In mouth,
sweet attack with dominant fresh fruits. Then it
becomes more complex with oaky flavours melting with
leather and olive notes. Nice amplitude thanks to
intense aromas, kept up with concentrated
tannins which are well structured and integrated, not
aggressive at all. A rich and silky unit.
