NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

On the nose, you can expect a bouquet of ripe red fruits, such as cherries and raspberries, accompanied by subtle hints of spice and oak.These aromas continue to evolve and become more complex as the wine opens up. The palate is equally impressive, with a perfect balance between fruitiness and acidity. The ripe red fruit flavors are complemented by notes of black pepper, licorice, and a touch of spice and cocoa. The tannins are well-integrated, providing a smooth and velvety texture.
