Tasting Notes

Deep ruby in colour and characteristic aromas of floral notes and ripe fruit. It has a good balance between its ripe tannins, tobacco notes and vanilla from its ageing in wood. The palate is dense with good quality tannins and a lively acidity typical from our terroir. A blend of elegant flavours and smooth density, with a long and persistent finish.
