Medium layer, slightly less than 95, with a red background and orange rim.

Nose:

Very intense with floral notes that stand out over the red fruit and notes of fine leather. The aromatic composition is very peculiar and complex. Very fresh, with a sensation of cherry.

Palate:

Good volume, very expressive, the red fruit appears clearly and there are also notes of fine leather.

The tannin is delicately present.

It is a wine that has positively surprised me after not tasting it for a long time, although there are some notes of an animal character between the fruits and flowers that can make it somewhat more difficult than usual.
