Coral red color due to the long maceration of the grapes. Intense and pleasant, the nose opens on intriguing juice of small red fruits, cranberry, blackberry and pomegranate, and then prickly pear. Continues with cooler notes of fresh cut grass, rosemary bloom and floral hints of geranium and hibiscus. Gradually becomes more complex with notes of wet tobacco, licorice, rhubarb, almond paste and sandalwood. In the end, mineral notes of iron stone. The sip is dry and savory with red fruit and citrine sensations.
