This red wine has a bright ruby color, intense aromas of ripe red fruits and sweet vanilla. The whole is quite complex and elegant. In the mouth it has a medium body, with very fine tannins and fresh acidity and a bit of austerity. A nice aftertaste.

A fine, mature wine, this has rich black fruits that are showing spice and touches of mushrooms even though the wine's fruitiness is still in place. Drink now.
