Nose | Amazingly rich and complex, this blend of Tinta del País, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot carries aromas of dried blueberries and plums, with hints fine wood, pine needles and sweet spices, with some mineral and earthy suggestions. |
Palate | This wine from Bodegas Hermanos Sastre is impressively profound, balanced and nuanced. Lively notes of black fruit, with a pinch of bitter cocoa and ground coffee, evolving into aromatic herbs, creme de cassis, dry earth and fine tobacco. Amazingly long finish. |
