Sight: Deep red color with violet shades, very brilliant.
Nose: Complex aromas, product of the different contributions from its dedicated elaboration process: fruit jams, spices, toasted bread and vanilla.
Mouth: In the mouth, it has a sweet entrance, with mature and gentle tannins that determine its elegance. It is a wine of good volume and weight, firm structure, and a lingering finish, with persistent aromas.
