Seductively fresh and floral aromas of rose, secondary notes of clove and very iscreet and well-integrated smoky flavors, show a perfect harmony between the usage of oak and the rest of the aromatic bouquet. The rich and fruit filled palate (blackberry, blueberry, black plum) and natural acidity of the wine give it a good weight and balance. Refined and well present tannins provide imposing structure.
