Deep cherry red color with an outstanding intensity. On the nose it contains a base of fruit at the beginning of ripening, with character, freshness and remarkable finesse. Sensory notes of barrel over time. e spicy and balsamic aromas stand out, notes of clove and scrubland predominantly. It denotes a perfect integration between the wine and its barrel aging, due to a perfect selection of toasted aromas from the wood. Full-bodied, well-balanced, tasty and with a broad sensation. Power, fruit and acidity integrated with a firm and rounded tannin. Vivacity and structure give this wine a great potential for expression and complexity over time. Ideal for pairing with charcuterie, semi-cured cheeses, oily-fish and some white and roasted red meats, such as goatling or lamb. It goes well with mushrooms; also with dishes of sauced cod, and fish in sauce in general. Ideal for pasta with tomato sauce and a perfect ally for tapas with assorted toasts and pinchos.
