Tasting Notes
Color: Intense ruby red color, with black tones in the center.
Nose: Aromas of red and black fruits like plums cassis, and dried figs. The oak is present, well integrated, adding delicate vanilla notes. Secondary aromas of spices with hints of black pepper.
Mouth: On the palate it has a good entry, with personality, and the acidity leaves room for the notable tannins, which are firm and sweet. The aftertaste is long and persistent.
Aging Potential: This is a wine whose structure will allow it to be kept up to 10 more years.
