Tasting Notes
Strong ruby with purple reflections and broader rim brightening. Delicately animalistic bouquet, hints of black cherry, nuances of blackberry, candied violets. Juicy, medium complexity, well-integrated tannins, seems rather lean at the core, finesse-rich structure, red berry, already accessible, offers great drinking charm.

Complex, juicy, ripe cherry fruit, fine tannins, shows good length, already harmonious, will soon be drinkable, mineral and endowed with maturity potential.
