Brilliant ruby red color, the nose has a pleasant scent of wild berries and a hint of dried fruit. The taste is persistent and full bodied, with nice balsamic notes that blends in with a bouquet of jammy berries and spices. The tannins are powerful but elegant, typical of aged wines. Excellent persistence and distinct softness.
