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 rose bud 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 without residual sugar, with good freshness and a light tannin. The aftertaste sensations are pleasantly balanced and mainly recall the spicy and fruity part of the pomegranate.
