Very mellow out of the bottle but more enjoyable as it opens. A bit spicy without being peppery, very little sweetness

Cherry and earth on nose. On palate, wine is bold, fruity with sour plum notes, almost sweet, beautiful acidity. This wine without doubt offers a good value. Looking for gran reserva. Enjoy 🍷👍
