Tasting Notes

Deep ruby color, very appealing. On the nose, wild black forest fruits stand out with a background of underbrush where tobacco leaf predominates. In the mouth, it is a wine with a strong initial impact and volume. The tannins are very present but with excellent ripeness, and vibrant acidity that makes the wine long and very gastronomic.
