Tasting Notes
Blueberry muffin, light milk chocolate, a hint of malty ripe notes, but also fresh-fruity small red berries, juicy, elegant palate, mild acidity and charmingly fine-grained, almost creamy tannins, spicy, complex finish with some pressure, finally appears stronger in alcohol than during the plateau phase of the palate impression. Overall an elegant wine with typical Reserva qualities, further potential for 5-8 years.
