Tasting Notes

Visually, this wine is an intense pomegranate red. It has as thick robe with violet and purple flecks. In the nose, it initially offers a mixture of raspberries and blackberries, with mineral and balsamic overtones. Entrance in the mouth is fresh and silky, with sweet, mouth-filling sensation and hints of tannin. All the nose aromas are highlighted on the back-palate, leaving a trail of grape textures reminiscent of balsamics and fine toast.
