Tasting Note

On the nose, it's spicy and very fruity, with hints of ripe black fruit and stewed plum compote. On the palate, the attack is smooth and quite juicy with a rather light structure of flavorful tannins. Despite being light, they adhere well in the mid-palate and are well integrated with the oak. The finish is persistent, leaving a pleasant taste of firm black fruit. By Pablo Ugarte
