Intense ruby red color, almost impenetrable.
The nose immediately shows the class of which it is provided, intense, complex and fine with aromas of cherry and black cherry, in clear evidence, dark berries, blackberry. Walnut and almond husk follow, then the spices with vanilla and cloves and especially the pepper are thin.
In the mouth, it confirms the variety, so it is pleasantly acidic, few tannins and instead the creaminess of the sugar alcohols finely supports the balance. Spices come back and remain for a long and pleasant finish.
