Tasting notes
Brilliant and intense red color. Fresh and complex scents provided by sweet, fruity, balsamic and spicy notes as well as a bit toasted. On the palate, the wine taste is fresh, fruity and spicy with a well-balanced acid. It stands out for its nicely integrated oak, tannins and acidity. The aging in wood gives complexity and elegance to this wine. We recommend serving between 16ºC and 18° C.
