Tasting Notes:
Clear, intense ruby red color, almost impenetrable.
On the olfactory examination the sample opens with floral notes reminiscent of a pot pourri of red flowers, followed by hints of red and dark berries such as currant, blackberry, blueberry and strawberries. Closing with vanilla nuances.
In the mouth the sample shows a good tannic texture, important and well polished. The sip is fresh, well balanced in the various components, the vanilla aftertaste remains at the end.
