TASTING NOTE

Beautiful intense violet color with explosive aromas of blackberry, black cherry and blueberries framed by hints of spices and mint. The wonderful aromas are reflected on the palate and are joined with ripe plums and notes of toasted vanilla, sweet and sour chocolate and a touch of mint at the end. This is a mature and rich wine style with a long and velvety finish.
