Elegant fragrance that reveals from intense fruity aromas, from fresh red and black fruit (the young character of the wine is evident) to spicy aromas, fresh notes (and citrus: orange peel), floral (orange blossom), balsamic, touches smoked; a complex and round set. With aeration and time in the glass, it also exhibits an interesting and original earthy background.

On the palate, its velvety texture with flavors consistent with the aromas perceived on the nose, make us wonder to what extent that 5% merlot is not ultimately responsible for such finesse. It is intense, with a clean, fruity and juicy entry, medium-bodied and a polished tannic structure with good aging prospects. The aging notes are elegant and persist in the aftertaste (coffee, leather).

In short, an interesting wine, well made, especially to enjoy with the family.
