TASTING NOTES 2009 (winemaker: Francisco Montenegro)
Beautiful full red with hints of brown. The nose is marked by a great
elegance and vigour and above all, complexity. Aromas of black fruits
in complete harmony with the toasted notes and still some floral
notes and some spiciness. Dense and balanced palate with fine ripe
tannins, the acidity, fruit and wood in combining perfectly. A long
finish and the potential for a long and graceful ageing.
