Deep ruby ​​red colour. On the nose, it is very expressive and intense. Strawberries, cherries and quince are the fruit aromas that stand out the most, blending with notes of vanilla, toasted wood and subtle notes of spices. Its mouth is full, with very pleasant and soft tannins. It has a consistent, fruity mid-palate with some mineral notes. With an elegant body and good structure, it ends with a persistent and long finish in the mouth.
