  Appearance: Bright and clear, it has deep ruby color, with wide garnet rims and legs.
  Nose: Clean, with medium (+) intensity aromas of black fruit such as blackcurrant, blackberry and dark plum, dried fruit of prune, mineral notes of earth, maturity notes of savory, kernel notes of cocoa and sweet spice of cloves. The wine is developing.
  Palate: Dry with medium (+) acidity, the wine has medium (+) tannin of ripe and velvety texture, showing medium (+) alcohol level, with full body and medium(+) intensity on flavors of black fruit such as blackberry, plum and ripe dark cherries, sweet spice of cinnamon, maturity notes of tobacco. The wine has a medium finish.
  Conclusion: Good quality Baga showing ripe black fruit characters, the wine has an intense nose showing good complexity, and on the palate the good acidity providing the balance on the full body texture, but the alcohol level is too warming. With intense flavors and a reasonable length, this wine is ready to drink now and can be kept for another 3-5 years.
