Tasting notes:  Clear dark color appears in the glass. The wine is led by the scent of secondary aromas. Characteristics of earth, minerals and leafs are in good harmony. Fruits, cherries, punch and some chocolate come into view and integrate with the spices of the barrel. It is long and memorable. A ready-made, nicely built wine comes into our glass.
