The wine is clear, with deep purple color, and thick legs.
On the nose the wine is clean, with medium plus primary aroma intensity of ripe black fruits, blackberries, cassis, hints of herbaceous, along with medium secondary aroma intensity of oak spices, fresh coffee beans, roasted chocolate.
On the palate the wine is dry, with medium plus acidity, medium plus green tannins, high alcohol, medium plus body, medium plus primary flavor intensity of ripe red fruits, plums, strawberries, hints of pomegranate, along with medium secondary flavor intensity of sweet oak spices and coffee. Finish is long, and dominated by green unripe fruit.
The wine is of a very good quality, as it was showing excellent balance between acidity, high alcohol and fruit concentration.
Although it was youthful at time of tasting, it is giving a glance to its potential in about 15 years or so of bottle aging.
