Tasting Notes
Intense ruby-colored wine, with a good balance between concentration and elegance. The aroma is reminiscent of red and ripe black fruits, well integrated with toasted and spicy notes. On the palate, it presents a firm structure of mature and velvety tannins, with a long and elegant finish. Should be served between 14-17ºC.
