Tasting Notes:
Great balance between the fruit and the wood, a lot of red berries, like cherry, cramberry but also a bit o pepper and spicy aromas. In the mout it is very smoth and sharp, where you can feel the fruit punch from the back to the front of the mouth. It ́s a very elegant set with a medium body strength, in the end it is refreshing and yummy.
