About him: seductive already from the bright ruby red color. An explosion of seductive and refined aromas: tamarind orange and immediately after apricot, black cherry and strawberry fragrances. To enchant there are also china, oriental spices, roses, on a background with a mineral character. The mouth is fresh, juicy, spicy, sapid, perfectly matching the nose. The tannin, never intrusive, is central and measured, and long persistence.
