Nose
Its aromas are
reminiscent of sweet spices, dried plum with
lavender, sage, with a touch of bell pepper.
With the opening of the wine appear aromas of
vanilla and chocolate contributed by its aging in
oak.
Palate
In the mouth it has great concentration,
intensity and sweet impact, with ripe black fruit
flavors and a sapid aftertaste that fills the
mouth. Smooth, round tannins with good
acidity and a long, lingering finish.
