ORGANOLEPTIC ANALYSIS
COLOR :     Darkest ruby red.
BOUQUET :  Intense and multi-layered. Jammy dark fruits with distinctive spice and tobacco notes, a hint of pencil lead and liquorice.
TASTE :   The bouquet finds confirmation in the mouth sensations. The wine has a good backbone of noble tannins and is full-bodied and chewy. The length and finale are commendable.
Service temperature : 20° C
