About the Wine
Having a beautiful brick red ruby colour half layer which precedes an aromatic explosion with notes of aging (vanilla, roasted coffee, spices ...), ripe fruit (raisins, caramel) and very subtle notes of bottle aging: leather, dry leaves, tobacco, etc. As the wine opens out, the aromas become more intense. In the palate a smooth and silky, perfectly assembled taste is emphasized. It is very prolonged, with a sensation reminiscent of velvet and a pleasing aftertaste.
It’s a great Rioja classic, pairing perfectly with roasts - especially lamb-, chops barbecued on vine shoots, heavy food preparations (game stew, fish in sauce recipes) and of course, smoked or cured cheese. It also presents very attractive pairing with desserts and recipes dominated by chocolate.
