Tasting notes: This wine is characterised by its dark ruby colour with light russet tones and its aromatic complexity.
There’s a predominance of notes typical from its ageing in the cask (such as toast, vegetation), accompanied by
notes of menthol and spices on a background of ripe cherry and plum jam.
On the palate it has a lush attack, with a voluptuous body and velvety tannins. The empyreumatic notes reappear in
retronasal, with a long, elegant finish and a liquorice aftertaste.

Winemaker’s comments: More than 40 years ago we started experimenting with new varieties. Using 85%
Cabernet Sauvignon and 15% Tempranillo, combined with long aging in oak, we created one of the family’s best
wines.

Serving suggestions: Perfect with charcuterie and meat dishes. Serve at 17ºC
