Description  An intense, ruby colour. With longer maturing, it takes on dark red hues. An intense, noble bouquet. A sophisticated aroma with balsamic notes of ripe red fruit, cherries, dark dried fruits, cherries in liqueur, all elegantly enriched with a soft spiciness and freshness. A strong, balanced, extremely enveloping and soft taste. An excellent wine, concentrated with ripe and well-blended aromas and minerals. The finish is almost balsamic with obvious notes of eucalyptus and liquorice. Over the years of maturing, the structure gains elegance and finesse of flavour, while keeping its freshenss, fruitiness and harmony of taste. Long, fresh and noble aftertaste. A Vibrant Wine.

Great potential for bottle maturing.
