An attractive ripe cherry red with a brick red rim. Oaky aromas with tobacco, toffee, and balsamic hints reinforced with ripe fruits (stewed cherries) and a lactic touch. Fresh and joyful, reminiscent of its elegant bouquet, and extremely long lasting. This wine displays a wide array of aromas, with the wood, tobacco, toffee, and balsamic (eucalyptus, laurel) touches standing out, complemented by the appearance in the background of stewed ripe fruits, highlighted by a lactic touch, which gives complexity to the range of aromas. This is a delicate wine that will be best appreciated by savouring it in a relaxed manner.
