Intense and expressive nose showing a good integration among the red fruit profile and the oak. Red cherries, with black fruit nuances and a sensation of freshness, flowers, scrub herbs and a hint of fresh violets make for a very complex nose.

Palate:

Good volume, higher that the immediately previous vintages, as it corresponds to a more Mediterranean vintage in an Atlantic area. Balanced and long, fine tannins, the fruit prevailing over the oak. Intense ripe cherries, yet keeping the freshness.
