Cherry red color with a high layer.
Powerful aroma, remember the black fruits, with a background of spicy and toasted notes.
The palate is round, fleshy and structured. The acidity is very fresh and the tannins are very round, giving a feeling of creaminess. It has an excellent balance, with a good step of mouth and long aftertaste.
It is a wine with a marked personality of the farm from which it comes and has a great potential for aging.Finca:
