TASTING NOTES. It has a very attractive bouquet, the oak evident but in synch with the fruit. The palate has a satisfying, succulent entry with fine acidity, good weight with a clean precise finish of dark cherries and blood orange. It has a lovely creamy texture, great harmony with violet and lily notes with a slight minty end. Fresh, nice and light wine with a good persistent.
