    Tasting notes

    Appearance

    Deep, luminous carmine red with topaz highlights.

    Aroma

    Very aromatic fragrance of blackberry and plum, violet and licorice, plus a touch of peppery nature and then a complex blend of ground coffee, chocolate and spices.

    Wine Empyreumatic | Floral | Fruity | Roasted | Spicy

    Taste

    Smooth, tasty with a light touch. Fine but intense and concentrated on the palate, with subtle flavors. Smooth tannins on the finish and good length. Complex, penetrating Malbec with good balance.
