Description:
Intense deep red colour with a purplish sheen. Aroma of exotic and profound complexity showing the wine's great density, incredibly rich body and structure. Note the hints of spices (pepper, clove), shrubs (thyme) and very ripe, small red berries (cranberry, redcurrant) over a background of smoke, vanilla and incense. On the palate the wine is a true revelation, a different style that at the same time evokes memories of other wines and other horizons. It grows as it warms up, exhibiting after a few seconds a fantastic series of flavours and memories... The dense but sweet tannins open up and once again deliver the spicy, fruity message of the bouquet and evolve in the aftertaste into a splendid finish that leaves a firm mark and a happy memory. A red wine made from a selection of ancient Catalan grape varieties: Monastrell, Garnacha Tinta, Garró, Samsó and Cariñena, recuperating the most classic of styles in the Mediterranean's thousand-year-old tradition
