Tasting notes: strong, scrumptious, deep-ruby wine. Mild, balmy hints on the nose, soon after having perceived a succession of flavours ranging from berry fruit to chocolate, through green pepper.. In the mouth this wine is balanced, rich, with elegant, extremely well-balanced tannins. It shows a very long lasting finish, slowly fading in a spicy aroma with traces of blackberry and bilberry.
