- Wine Tasting Notes:
Colour: Intense dark cherry colour with violet reflections. Clean and bright.
Nose: Medium-high intensity nasal aromas, in which the notes of red fruit are dominant. Its notes of ripe fruit with a touch of liquor and the hints of cherries give way to notes of spices, white pepper, balsamic nuances and hints of undergrowth.
Taste: In the palate, this Spanish wine is honest, direct and easy-drinking. It is fleshy and juicy and has a good load of fruit which coats the palate. It has a great acidity and a very nice finish of light bitter notes with a good persistence. Excellent value (and pleasure) for money.
