Tasting Notes

This refined wine has an intense color and a vigorous structure. Concentrated aromas of blackberry, plums and sweet spices warm the glass. The time spent in new French oak gives the wine hints of tobacco and vanilla intertwined with black and green pepper notes. Healthy tannins allow for a long and pleasant finish.
