Written Notes

A Cabernet-Sauvignon complemented by small proportions of Cabernet-Franc and Tempranillo, displaying a garnet red colour with slightly brick red hue. The nose shows an elegant balmy aroma, mild spices, hints of vanilla and dried fruits. On the palate silky character with fine tannins and good length. Discreet toasted flavours in the finish. A wine with depth and complexity, perfectly ripe and still remarkably fresh.

Good looking normal size bottle. Colour is brick red, and looking bright and deep. On the nose it is mature and closed. The taste is fresh, fat, full, round, harmonious, with medium tannin ., with silky tannins, and average in acidity, full-bodied, with balanced, concentrated, well-structured structure and mature. On the palate it is layered and has dried-fruit, plum, blackcurrant and spice flavours. The finish is long, lingering and flavorful. This wine is fine and fine. Perfectly stored bottles are still very worthy and will last well for another 1-5 years and decant at least 1h before tasting.
