Beautiful ruby color, with good concentration. The aroma is young, rich and complex with notes of black pepper combined with red and wild fruits, where raspberry and cherry stand out. The wood is well matched with some smoked notes. It also shows mineral aromas of wet stone. In the mouth it has claw and nerve, it is complex and has a good structure. However, it is thin and elegant. Very well integrated tannins, with good acidity...
Beautiful ruby color, with good concentration. The aroma is young, rich and complex with notes of black pepper combined with red and wild fruits, where raspberry and cherry stand out. The wood is well matched with some smoked notes. It also shows mineral aromas of wet stone. In the mouth it has claw and nerve, it is complex and has a good structure. However, it is thin and elegant. Very well integrated tannins, with good acidity that gives it a long and very pleasant aftertaste and that allows for a good evolution in the bottle.
