NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
Opaque, medium ruby color.Very interesting and powerful aromas of strawberry, raspberry, and sweet tobacco. The wine showcases a medium to medium-full body and flavors of red cherry, raspberry, and vanilla. The soft tannins and the fresh acidity are full in balance. Drink within the next 10 years.
