Colour

Clean and bright Cherry color cherry with slightly orange reflections. Very nice to look at.

AROMA:

Entry into the nose with very good complexity, where the black and red fruit are expressed with all their magnitude, sweet spicy notes and to finish some mineral and very elegant touches. All combined with roasted aromas due to its barrel aging.

TASTE:

In the mouth, it is elegant, unctuous and intense. The black fruit covers the entire palate with exuberance and perfectly balanced tannins. Its astringency is very moderate but fair to balance its maturity and alcoholic strength. Very long and persistent.
