It is a cherry red wine with ruby ​​nuances in a thin layer. It shows clean and intense aromas of ripe fruit: cherry, currant and cassis, with smoky and spicy nuances provided by the extra-fine grain French oak wood. Fresh and balanced on the palate, silky and powerful, with very polished tannins, and a long finish full of flavors and aromatic sensations.

CONSERVATION
The wine was bottled without any clarification or stabilisation treatment, so it is possible that over time a natural sediment of colouring matter or tartrates may appear, which is an unequivocal sign of purity and integrity. It will develop positively in the bottle over the next 10 years. Store in a cool (12º - 14º C) and dark place in a horizontal position.
