The appearance is clean, bright, medium high deep. Vivid cherry red colour with ruby evolution. Broad, with a lot of intensity. Very complex and rich in nuances. Sweet aromas of ripe fruit and toast from the barrel. Notes of spices (cinnamon, clove) and evolution in the bottle(cedar). Pleasant in the mouth, tannic, flavoursome. Ripe fruit sensation. Very well integrated acidity. Slight hints of dried fruit in the background. Pairs well with any kind of meat, grilled or fried potatoes, mushrooms or ham, oily fish such as Tuna & salmon and medium-aged cheese.
