General

Tasting Notes (recommended):Deep cherry red colour with mellow ruby undertones. In the nose it presents primary aromas of ripe fruit in perfect harmony with anis, natural liquorice, vanilla, cocoa, cinnamon and balsamic. In the mouth it is well balanced although tannic and yet smooth on the palate.
