Colour

Clean and bright. Dark ruby color with orange reflections with medium layer intensity. Very pleasing to the eye.

AROMA:

In the nose, one looks delicately extraordinary. Aromas to roasted and certainly smoked, due to its long aging and stay in French oak casks, ending with notes of sweet spices where vanilla is the protagonist.

TASTE:

Dry mouth entry, but showing a certain softness at the same time. Perfectly integrated tannins that give off a sensational balance. Evolved, long and persistent.

It came with an indisputable delicacy and finesse, a perfect companion with grilled meat and fish dishes without strong garnishes. Also ideal as "dessert" wine paired with chocolate and pastry cream.
