Tasting Notes: Heavy garnet coloured wine. Intense and complex aroma of blackberry and raspberry, balsamic notes, pine and resin, white chocolate and linden. In the mouth it impresses from the first impact due to its freshness. Elegant, very concentrated, it has robust tannins that will grant the wine a great capacity for evolution.
