Tasting notes

• Exterior
  Deep ruby ​​color with purple hues.
• Scent
  The scent is mainly fruit, but the aroma from barrel aging also shows a little face. Aromas of sour cherry, cassis, violet, raspberry, cassis, green plum, blackberry and dried plum with hints of forest floor, tobacco leaf, red pepper, conifers, forest, grass clippings, black currant, cocoa, leather, tatami . I feel the nuances of roasted wood.
• Taste
  The taste is predominantly sour. The firm acidity gives the wine its sharpness and pairs well with oily dishes. The presence of tannins is also large, and it has a firm body. Flavors of tangy sour cherry, black currant and red currant. It will become more mellow after a few more years of aging. The aftertaste is long, and the scent of black fruits lingers in the mouth at the end. Immediately after uncorking, you will feel a slightly strong acidity and tannins, but the fruitiness will bloom over time.
