2020 Merlot Renatus
The wine is opaque ruby red in color and dense. The bouquet is intense, very fine and rich. We detect the aroma of overripe red fruits and berries (sour cherry, blackberry, blueberry, black plum), jam, spices. The taste of the wine is dry, warm, very full-bodied, soft with velvety tannins, and the jammy taste is also noticeable in the mouth, very intense, with a long aftertaste.
