TASTING NOTES
Deep cherry color, on the nose it presents intense aromas of ripe red fruit (raspberry) that combine perfectly with the spicy notes of cocoa, vanilla and liquorice that respond to a noble aging. Powerful and full on the palate with a very fresh and fruity mid palate, but tasty and complex, mineral, with a remarkable finish where the fruity and spicy aromas reappear in the retronasal. Magnificent expression of an elegant Aragonese Garnacha with very ripe tannins.
