VISUAL STAGE: A wine dressed in a lovely red.

OLFACTORY STAGE: Direct olfaction discloses aromas of spices (cinnamon and vanilla) with hints of coconut —from its stay in good American oak barrels— against a background of ripe fruit. Honest and powerful. Retro-olfaction evinces its potency, length and complexity.

GUSTATIVE STAGE: This is a round wine with a pleasant attack. Full-bodied and meaty, with polished tannins that give it volume and structure. The final sensation is long and pleasurable.
