Nota de cata:
Brilliant, attractive, intense red-cherry colour, with a hint of purple in the rim. The nose is complex, showing an abundance of mature red fruits over a spicy backbone. The wine sits well in the mouth and again shows red fruits. Ripe tannins lend structure, although the wine also maintains a refreshing level of acidity. The wine ends with a long and aromatic finish.
