TASTING NOTES
Deep red-violet colour. This wine reveals complex aromas of ripe black and red fruit, with toast and spices. In the mouth it shows
great density, reflecting the softness of the tannins and a full integration between the spices and vanilla of the barrel and the berries notes. Concentation, balance and soft texture are obvious. Nice final, very long, with hints of fruit and cedar. High potential for ageing in bottle.
