Tasting
View: Maroon cherry colour, intense, with slightly dull cherry-red trim. Clean, bright, medium-low depth, with dense legs and slightly dyed.

Nose: The Tempranillo percent predominates, it leaves an overmature fruit bouquet, and it can be distinguished between red fruits as strawberries and other blacks' as plums. Its secundary aromas are odd, starting for a white chocolate detail, some caked aroma that remembers cookies; it is also detected an aroma provided possibly for Cabernet's ripening, with a rare essence confusing the nose a little, to finish with an empyreumatic note due to the wood toasting which we will identify as phosphorus.

Mouth: Fine, smooth entry; at the beginning dry, toasted, developing toward a tasty, mature, slightly warm wine but well-balanced in its taste whole, with average structure and body which makes easier its smooth flow through the mouth, with a good extent, very mature tannins; it is a pleasure for those who enjoy with this smooth feeling, fine sharpness, persistent, soothing and with energy at the end of mouth, long and bitterish.
