TASTING NOTES

On the nose it shows great balance, with very ripe fruit appearing at first, followed by hints of freshness and noble oak. Sweet, aniseed-like notes appear in the background. Intense and long lasting. Elegant, lively and very pleasant on the palate. Balanced acidity and well-polished tannins. Once again there is a lot of fruit and a very smooth mouth feel. Notes of very high quality oak on the finish.
