Tasting Note

Color: very intense, almost impenetrable, with very dark background and deep red edging.

Nose: many overlapping layers appear when approaching the nose. Black fruits stand out with the memory of perfectly ripe plums and blackberries. It has a large mineral component that gives depth to the wine with memories of the smell of Chinese ink. The smells of the wet earth and the aromatic ones appear in the shade of the pine trees. There is a huge balance in which the wood accompanies in the distance. Delicate, long, suggestive and intense at the same time and topped with mentholated notes of black cocoa.

Mouth: voluminous and full. With black fruit and cocoa, but also freshness. Remember the landscape of the Pinares de la Horra with the freshness after the rain. The tannins are of high quality and forge a sense of power and elegance at the same time, being bulky and airy. A set of fruit, minerality, volume, length and freshness that form a huge wine. Excellent to take with meat dishes.
