## Tasting notes

Intense, dark garnet color, almost impenetrable, which, combined with its generous intensity, suggests remarkable substance. The broad and intense bouquet, without hiding the typical scents of ripe fruit, leaves room for vanilla notes and elevates a great compositional harmony. Its notably structured flavor releases lively and balanced sensations. It is appreciated for its harmony between body and tannins with savory and persistent aftertastes.
