Organoleptic characteristics
To the eye, it is rich in color. The bouquet has an overtone of greenness with hints of mountain hay and autumn leaves. Nuances of fresh fruit, small fruit, tobacco and sweet spices often join its decided vinosity. A well structured, very balanced wine in its acidity and tannicity. It keeps its vinosity as it comes round; it's harmony, freshness, and value increase. It is a very ageable wine
