Tasting Notes Wine of deep red color, with black fruit aromas from the forest and touches of violet and black pepper. On the palate shows an explosion of ripe fruit combined with a high freshness and pronounced tannins, giving it tremendous life and long aftertaste, characteristic that increases the aging potential. Can be consumed already.
