Colour

Beautiful intense red colour.

Bouquet

Powerful nose, with aromas of candied fruit, evolving with age towards spicy and musky aromas.

Flavour

A solid framework is felt on the palate. Long aftertaste with flavours reminiscent of the same candied fruit aromas. The tannic structure is not too present and the balance of the wine should confer a good ageing potential.
