General

Tasting Notes:Attractive and intense garnet red colour. On the nose there are well balanced fruit and wood aromas. Spicy notes can be detected together with; coconut, vanilla and clove. On the palate smooth fresh touches with balsamic hints are apparent. Following the initial sweetness on the palate, we can detect black fruit jams with a definite bite, and an extra pleasant long finish.
