Tasting Notes
Intense in color, the wine presents aromas of ripe black fruits, floral notes, and spices, with hints of dark chocolate and wild blackberries. Elegant and full-bodied, with present but round and mature tannins, well-balanced with medium-intense acidity. Long persistence on the finish. With excellent potential for aging in the bottle for over 20 years. Should be served between 15º and 18º C.
