At first sight, the color shows its own nature – as a powerful and robust wine. Its aromatic expression highlights red and black fruits, such as cherries, blackberries and plums. The aging time in French barrels increases its complexity, elegance and enhances an exquisite sensation of concentrated fruit.
In the mouth it shows all the elegance and kindness of well-fused tannins, freshness and outstanding volume.
