Description:
Maroon colour with red reminiscences. Aromatically there is a perfect balance between ripe black fruit and aromas from its time in oak such as vanilla, toffee, leaves snuff. On their way through the palate shows a softness and kindness that gives us a length with an aftertaste of balsamic and fruity notes. Leaving a feeling of whole round wine with a nice tannin that allows a very versatile pairing because of its balance.
