About THE WINE:
Solid ruby red to purple hue. Showing red fruit aromatics framed by baking spices–cinnamon, clove, cardamom, mingling with raspberry and black cherry. Subtle notes of mocha and fig appear in the background. On the palate, the wine is supple and elegant, with fine-grained tannins, displaying an almost chocolatey texture. Finishes long on black cherry juices and baking spice.
