Deep and live ruby red color. The wine has a very elegant and evident Carmenère tipicity,
showing lovely black pepper aromas with hints of red berries, chocolate, a bit of vanilla and
black plums. In the mouth is distinctively smooth, with rounded and soft tannins. Long finish. The oak is beautifully integrated and balanced.
