Tasting

	Intense cherry red colour. Clean and brilliant. Intense and slow tear.
	At the smelling stage good intensity, red and black mature fruit aroma with delicate and creamy notes with a mineral touch provided by its ageing in wood. Cocoa and toasted spicy touches.
	Tasting is fresh, fruity, well balanced, powerful, concentrated with well melted and fatty tannins and a pleasant balsamic background. Long. Aftertaste is greedy and elegant.
