Tasting Notes

The wine presents a pretty violet and cherry color. It’s perfumed, complex and fresh in the nose, with floral notes such as violet, red and blue berries and subtle aromas of orange peel, together with sweet spices and graphite. On the palate it has great character and structure, but being soft and elegant at the same time. It shows itself alive with lots of energy and freshness alongside with a superb aging potential.
