Wine tasting The wine has an intense purple red color with violet reflections. On the nose it is very intense with floral notes that vary from rosebud to wild rose to geranium. Spicy notes of pepper and an intense part of fruit such as cherry, black cherry, a pomegranate finish. In the mouth it is very dry with no residual sugar, with good freshness and light tannins. The sensations of the aftertaste are pleasantly balanced, especially recalling the spicy and fruity parts of the pomegranate.
