In the glass, the wine is ruby ​​red, with slightly brick-red curtains.

Aromas of plums, blackcurrants, cassis, garrique, tobacco, pepper and licorice.

in the taste you can feel cough drops, lots of berry fruit, coffee. The tannins are elegant, the wine has an elegant balance between fruit and acidity, and a long elegant finish with notes of pepper, cassis and black olives.

Serve at 16-18 degrees when you really want to impress, whether it's summer, winter, autumn or spring. The power in the wine needs some counterplay, so serve with fullness, fat and power.
