Testing Nose.

The result is deep, rich, intense flavors of ripe blackberries, and aromas of chocolate perfume. Wonderfully balanced tannins melt on your tongue from oak barrel aging (100% new oak). There are also interesting flavors of dark fruit and coffee bean, exciting the palate.

The finish is simultaneously smooth and rich – at the same time. Enjoy this luxurious wine.
