Vintage
The vintage has been much better than expected. Although the year began with a lot of precipitation and the spring was rainy and warm, it was necessary to exercise extreme caution against fungal diseases. The year improved in the summer months as it was accompanied by dry, hot weather that favoured both good sanitary conditions and phenolic maturation. The expected result is very hopeful and with very structured and powerful wines.

Tasting notes
Colour
A highly intense and deep core of dark cherry with a pinkish edge. Bright and clean.
Nose
Complex, with good intensity. Over a background of ripe fruit, it shows notes of cocoa, wild fruit (dark cherries), and a touch of mint. As it stays in the glass, mineral and balsamic notes begin to arise. The wood is well integrated.
Mouth
Full of flavour on the fore palate with a base of wild ripe berries as the principal sensation, similar to a mix of jam, candy and marinated plums. Pleasant tannins and a silky smooth finish.
Pairing
Pairs well with poultry, casseroles, red and white meats, elaborate meat dishes in sauce, lamb roasts and cured cheeses.
