Tasting notes

Dark red color. Complex aromas of fresh fruit and elegant wood. In the mouth, the attack is lively. Beautiful volume, very pleasant aromas of red fruits with notes of mocha and dark chocolate. Beautiful complexity and intensity supported by an elegant tannic structure. Aromatic finish of great length.
