TASTING NOTES
Colour
Red with violet hues
Nose
Very intense with mineral and dairy notes with escence of wild black fruits (raspberries and blackberries) combined with spicy elegant notes of black pepper and cloves with light memories of roasted coffee and toffee candies
Palate
It is balanced and rounded, powerful but with a velvety and well-integrated step that ends in volume and fat spice and mineral aftertaste
