Tasting notes
- Colour: The golden tones stand out due to its extended period of aging. Medium-high intensity, it maintains a special luminosity in the glass as a result of its great liveliness and shows certain grayish nuances on the rim.
- Nose: : Very delicate, high intensity and particularly complex. It represents a blending over time of the primary floral notes of the grape along with the more complex tones of leaf litter and vanilla provided by a barely toasted barrel. All these notes are wrapped in sweet, creamy nuances that have been integrated into the wine during its prolonged aging in the bottle.
- Palate: Its enveloping acidity stands out throughout its journey. With a linear passage and an eternal finish, it is a faithful example of the mythical fine wines of Rioja. Austere on the palate, but with great elegance, it is a wine that makes you salivate constantly, generating a silky and pleasant dimension.
