Decantado: Vinturi
Info de cata: color rojo, capa media,baja, poco cuerpo, bastrante transparente. Al principio cerrado en nariz y boca, una hora después mucho mejor. En cierta medida me recuerda a los riojas, frutos rojos, toques de madera, taninos pulidos, un vino más bien elegante, no excesivamente potente. Al  final bastante rico.

Nota de cata (propia bodega):
From low-yielding vineyards, matured in small oak barrels. This wine shows plummy fruit and spicy wood aromas on the nose. The palate is fresh and fruity with silky tannins and a long pleasing aftertaste.
