Color cereza picota de capa profunda. Aroma profundo, directo y complejo, con aromas de frutos rojos y notas de especias. Intenso en boca, profundo y con gran personalidad. Fruta madura bien equilibrada con la madera, con taninos finos, bien estructurado y de gran persistencia.

- Flavours of ripe plum, red cherry and berries blend with spicy notes of liquorice and sweet balsamic. The wine is silky and well balanced with rounded tannins and refreshing acidity. The long, mineral finish has notes of sweet spice and ripe plum fruit.
- Food Pairing
- The Spanish love their lamb, beef and - obviously - jamón! This is the perfect partner.

Were sent a bottle of this as a present, liked the wine so much that we sort it out at Drinks&Co, ordered it and it was delivered the next day. Excellent wine, service and price.

Spicy aromas lead to intense cherry, red berries, ripe plum, licorice, chopped nuts and balsamic. On the palate the wine is silky and balanced with rounded tannins and fresh acidity. The finish is long and mineral with a hint of sweet spice.
