Opinion

Journalist

“A wine with a delicious fruit composition due to a blend between Merlot (90%) and Malbec (10%). It has a small net acidity combined with a classic tannic structure which makes it a very good wine for aging.”

Wine Enthusiast

Palate

The nose is dominated by black fruits, wild blackberry and chocolate. The attack is suave and chalky followed by an energetic mouth. Beautiful tannins, surprisingly young wine, very accomplished. Chalky and salty finish.
