In the background remains the aroma of a noble wooden box that has had sweet spices.

It is bulky and harmonious, with power and a lot of life ahead.
The tannins are silky and it lingers in the mouth for a long time, leaving free the aromas that we had felt in the nose wrapped in sensations of fresh elegance.
