TASTING NOTES
Intense cherry red with dark garnet rim.
On the nose, a balanced combination of black forest fruits in liqueur, such as blueberries, blackcurrant, and violet caramel, with a very fresh balsamic touch on the nose. Notes of nutmeg, vanilla, coconut, cocoa, and tobacco leaf, with the minerality characteristic of Pago de Santa Cruz.
Voluminous on the palate, well-structured, complex. Well balanced and uncuous. Savoury, tasty, full-bodied and long. In short, pure stimulation.
