Notes | |||
"This wine stands out for its intense cherry red color and an elegant maroon rim. On the nose, it uncovers a wide range of red fruits, plum, blackberry and lingonberries seasoned with subtle notes of pastry, coffee, caramel, cedar, vanilla and cinnamon that give it a fruity and balsamic bouquet. On the palate, there is a balance between alcohol and acidity, freshness, with some polished and friendly tannins that give it a refined structure." —winemaker |
Critical Acclaim | |||
"Aromas of dark plum, raspberry, mocha, mushroom, chocolate, mocha, coconut and cigar box. Full-bodied with ripe, fine tannins and bright acidity. Balanced and supple with a velvety texture. Coffee notes on the long, succulent finish." —James Suckling "Brilliant ruby. Energetic, spice- and smoke-accented black raspberry and candied cherry aromas are complemented by suggestions of rose oil, coconut and cured tobacco. Youthfully chewy and focused on entry, offering concentrated red and dark berry, cherry cola and candied licorice flavors that deepen steadily with air. Floral pastille and oak spice notes linger on the impressively long, smoke-tinged finish, which shows excellent clarity and polished tannins." —Vinous |
