Tasting Notes:
Ruby red with garnet rim. On the nose hints of blood orange, juniper berries and tamarind, on a magmatic background of graphite; vegetal notes of musk, tobacco leaf and liquorice root follow in a frame of leather, eucalyptus, rosemary and caper. This wine finishes with a slight spiciness of black pepper, carob and cloves balanced with red cherry.
Muscular and balanced body supported by a fresh savoury note and silky tannins. Long persistent mineral finish.
