Interesting nose with aromas of wild berries and licorice, assembled with the aromas from aging in oak barrels as toffees, leaf pure and underbrush.

The palate is a wine with a marked step for its depth and velvety tannins that gives it the elegance that is always present in this wine. The aftertaste is long and complex.
