Tasting notes
Intense cherry red with purple hues. Intense and frank aroma, with ripe fruit (red and black plums, cherry, blackberry). Red and violet floral aromas, balsamic touch with some sweet spicy notes. Great expression of the personality of Tempranillo. In the mouth, it is fresh, ample, fleshy, and with very good acidity. Good structure and nerve with sweet tannins somewhat marked and very good persistence of the varietal character.
