Clean intense bouquet, with typical assertive and complex varietal aromas that showcase pleasant fruity, floral and spicy aromas reminiscent of red and black small ripe fruits, caramel and chocolate. Its flavor is fruity and warm, round and full bodied; it is well balanced with a pleasant backbone due to its high soft noble tannin components and finishes long with an elegant aftertaste. |
