Tasting note
COLOUR: Ruby red mahogany colour with a red mahogany rim, dense and powerful slow movingdyedtears.
AROMAS: Markedly tertiary aromas derived from barrel and bottle ageing, with outstanding vegetable aromas (tobacco leaves and camomile), roasts (coffee, forest and wet charcoal), notes of liquor fruits and dry fruits (plum, fig) and a hint of toasted nuts (pine nuts, caramelised almonds).
IN THE MOUTH: On the palate it has a powerful and elegant entry, with a predominance of tertiary character, notes reminiscent of cognac, presence of ripe tannins that provide vivacity, sweet spices and a mineral finish (graphite, gypsum) and a long, silky aftertaste on the palate.
