Tasting Notes
Limpid, very intense ruby red color almost impenetrable and evident purplish textures, consistent.
On the nose the sample opens the bouquet of its hints with notes of a potpourri of delicately withered red flowers, followed by an effluvium of ripe red fruit notes, with delicate notes of toasting reminiscent of fine woods with a slightly balsamic finish.
The sip is opulent, precise tannins, important, but perfectly integrated and smooth. Balanced in its components, what is highlighted in the olfactory examination is confirmed in the sip. Good persistence with a ripe fruit finish.
It is recommended in combination with a larded fillet.
