Closure: Cork
Midnight black colour with a deep dark red black hue. Elevated black cherry and liquorice fruit aromas meld into tertiary nuances of old earthy cedar, leather and spicy dried herbs. Medium to full bodied the palate has generous portions of black cherry and liquorice fruit which melds into subtlety scorched earth, old cedar and spicy leather elements. Rounded mouthfeel finishing with dryish tannins and a medium length aftertaste.
Drink over the next 3-4 years.
Alc. 13.5%
A very attractive 2011 Reserva that has some nice, mature candied red-fruit and dried-cherry character, but remains lively, relatively sleek and has rather elegant tannins that build nicely on the generous finish. Drink or hold.
