Tasting Notes
Dark concentrated cherry red wine, lively and potent in nose with leather, liquorice and black pepper aromas. The primary compote fruit aromas are maintained. Balance between its tannins and acidity. A full body with an elegant bitter finish. It long persists on the palate. Inviting you to continue enjoying it.

The 2006 Reserva exhibits a similar aromatic and flavor profile but not quite the density and volume of its older sibling. It will benefit from 1-2 years of additional cellaring and drink well through 2021.
