- Wine Tasting Notes:
Colour: Very dark and intense picota colour. Medium-high robe, bright. Dense and slow-falling tears stain the glass.
Nose: Very intense aromas. Concentrated notes of ripe, almost jammy black fruit. Spices, toffee, coffee, toasted and mineral notes appear elegantly beside the fruit.
Taste: Very broad and bulky attack, filling the mouth. Very tasty and appetising, with a high concentration of fruit. Very well integrated wood. Good tannins. Extraordinary, very persistent finish leaving nice nuances. A powerful, elegant and very seductive Grenache.
