Tasting Notes:
On the nose, it stands out for its great intensity, with predominant notes of wood and spices, clove and cocoa, accompanied by ripe fruit and a balsamic background. On the palate, it is smooth and round, with a silky and very balanced texture. Reminiscent notes of ripe fruit reappear, along with polished tannins and perfectly integrated acidity that provides harmony and length. The finish is long, elegant, and persistent, leaving a spicy and fruity aftertaste
