AROMA
On the nose, the wine reveals medium intensity, with notes of ripe red fruits, particularly blackberries, plums, and raspberries. These fruity layers are complemented by floral nuances, which add complexity and delicacy to the aromatic ensemble, revealing an attractive olfactory profile.
PALATE
On the palate, the wine displays a noticeable sweetness, but this is well balanced by impressive acidity, which brings freshness to the palate. The tannins, although present, are velvety and well integrated, providing a smooth and pleasant texture while supporting the body of the wine. The sensation in the mouth is that of a powerful, full-bodied wine that maintains a remarkable elegance and harmony between its elements. It is a young wine that shows great potential for aging and evolution, indicating that it can develop for a long time in the bottle.
