    Tasting Notes

    Ruby red in colour.

    Aromatically it is fresh, with notes of spices such as paprika and black pepper, as well as some herbs.

    Its ageing in oak barrels adds notes of bitter chocolate and tobacco.

    On the palate it has a sweet entry, balanced and refreshing acidity, good volume and firm tannins, with a long finish.

    Ideal with red meats.
