Deep red picota cherry colour with violet hues at the rim. Intense nose with aromas of ripe red fruit well integrated with spice, smoke and toast notes. On the palate, it is a structured and mouth-coating wine, with silky tannins. Bitterness and acidity are well balanced. A wine with a long finish.
