Nose:
Very deep black fruit with some red flashes.
There are notes of aromatic herbs and you feel the shade of the pine forest in a cool day. The nose is nice and harmonious.
The freshness of the vintage is evident in the aromatic profile and the wood disappears between the main sensations.
Taste:
It has a good volume, perhaps lighter due to the characteristics of the vintage.
The tannin is very good, and the mouthfeel is long and cool.
In the aftertaste is very fresh and pleasant. The fineness of the tannin is surprising and denotes a fresher and longer style than their ancestors due to the influence of a cold and rainy year.
It is a pleasure to feel such a wine in such a difficult vintage.
