What flavor awaits me?

Appearance:
Deep ruby red color with garnet reflections and slightly orange edges, is a sign of its elegant evolution. Its brilliance and medium-high layer reflect the complexity and sophistication of this great wine for aging.

Nose:
Intense and complex aromas where ripe red fruits, such as cherries and plums, stand out, accompanied by subtle spicy notes of clove and black pepper. With aeration, balsamic nuances emerge, hints of leather, tobacco, and light hints of cocoa and vanilla, the result of its long aging in oak.

Palate:
Silky and elegant entry, with a structured body and refined tannins. Its vibrant acidity brings freshness and balance, while its finish is long and persistent, leaving a trace of ripe fruit, sweet spices, and light-toasted nuances. A wine with great cellaring potential and a sublime expression of Rioja Alta.
