Tasting notes
Deep garnet colour with brick-red edges, typical of its evolution. The nose reveals a complex and elegant palette: ripe black fruit (prunes, blackberries, blueberries), aromas of tobacco, tanned leather, cocoa, sweet spices (vanilla, cloves), aged wood and a mineral background. With aeration, hints of forest, damp earth and truffle emerge, evidencing its prolonged ageing.
On the palate, it is full-bodied, structured and silky at the same time. Polished tannins, balanced acidity and a velvety texture. Generous on the palate, with volume, depth and a very long, persistent finish, full of nuances: ripe fruit, just the right amount of wood, spices and minerality, inviting you to store it for a few more years or enjoy it slowly.
Food pairing
Recommended with grilled or stewed red meats, game stews, roast lamb, hearty winter dishes, wild mushrooms, mature cheeses or artisan cured meats.
Serving temperature: 17º–18ºC — ideally decant 30–45 minutes before serving to release its full complexity.
