Its aromatic palate is characterized by ripe black and red fruits, such as raspberry, accompanied by notes of spices and tobacco. On the mouth we detect the soft and well-worked tannins, a balanced acidity and aromas of ripe fruits, cloves, black pepper and notes of herbs. Its aftertaste has complexity and lasts. You could enjoy it now or keep it for the next 5 years. You could pair it with red meat, pasta with red sauce.
