TASTING
The wine has a bright, crisp ruby red surface. Decanting is recommended or opening the bottle half an hour before consuming, which would allow it to express its full aromatic intensity.
It has a wide variety of delicate nuances, touches of toasted and smoked fruits, as a result of ageing in French oak, over a background of very ripe red fruit almost candied as a result of ageing in American oak. In mouth, it is ample and generous, and expands throughout the mouth without difficulty and transmits the sensation of a velvety wine. In spite of its depth, it has a freshness found on the nose with red fruits, which is a decisive factor, since this balances out the elevated alcohol content.
