Ruby , quite intense , quite narrow rim . Quite herbaceous , with touches of red fruits , coffee. On the palate , quite sweet red fruits , round but with ok balancing acidity . Not bad length , ok balance . Shows quite well for 6 years old, though little upside I feel.

Vino color rubí con cuerpo denso y clarificado. Notas de amaderadas, frutos rojos, zarzamora, vainilla, canela. Vino muy bien balanceado, con astringencia y acidez media.
Este vino tiene una alta retención y sin duda cada sorbo invita al siguiente.

Recomendable al 100.

Blackberry and damp forest floor nose, initially strong sweet berry, after an hour its changed to powerful over ripe raspberries with a long smooth finish. Delightful.

Excelent wine. Great for cozy evenings. Fits well with steaks and veal cutlets.

A coven of dark berries meets meets in a forest. The bottle opens and it's a sexual bacchanal. Two hours in, the fervor has worn off and the blackberry can't make eye contact with the overripe raspberry.
