Tasting Notes
- Color: Intense violet with intense, deep blackish hues.
- Nose: Attractive seduction of ripe plums and graphite, typical of high-altitude areas. Combined with chocolate, contributed by its aging in first-use French oak barrels.
- Palate: Complex yet gentle entry, reminiscent of the sweet tannins of Malbec and the gentleness achieved by its barrel aging.
