Nice cherry color, intense and bright. Granatose edges. Glyceric tear. On the nose it is powerful and fresh, very intense and complex. Lots of black fruit (initially fresh to go ripe) accompanied by many floral and spicy notes. Touches of coffee, smoked, fresh balsamic and light hints of black olive and pepper. In the mouth it is very wide and voluminous, which wraps the mouth with fruity and smoky sensations, full of nuances. It has a very tasty, soft and silky step. Correct acidity that provides a pleasant freshness. Good ending with good persistence. A very sweet wine, very rich. Enveloping and round.

Grilled red meats, roasted red meats, civet, big game, cured cheeses, acorn-fed Iberian ham.
