Personal rating 97 points

Color: Deep ruby ​​with violet reflections, revealing promising youth.

Nose: A seductive explosion of ripe dark fruits, such as blackberry and plum, combined with nuances of violet and black pepper, wrapped in a delicate note of vanilla from the oak.

Palate: In the mouth, it reveals a silky texture and impressive concentration. The black fruit flavors are amplified by the complexity brought by aging in oak barrels, providing layers of flavors that unfold harmoniously. The tannins are firm, but well integrated, giving structure and elegance to the wine. The finish is long and persistent, leaving a pleasantly spicy flavor in the mouth.
