Trial analysis
Cherry-red colour in the glass. Clean and bright, with a deep red hue. The nose shows soft red and black fruit. Pleasant spice, but above all plenty of floral notes that make the first impression very inviting. On the palate, a firm attack with plenty of substance, yet always elegant, with very discreet oak. Length and complexity throughout.
