14.5% Vol.
Color:
Very good intensity, with a cherry red background and a bluish-red rim.
Nose:
An incredible burst of fruit, with blackberries and fresh plums leaping from the glass. A delicate interplay of fresh aromatic herbs is also present. The oak is perfectly integrated. The wine's fresh and fruity flavor is already evident on the nose.
Mouth:
It's voluminous, full-bodied, long, and delicate, with caressing tannins. Blackberry and plum make their presence felt, leaving a truly pleasant sensation.
It has the unique characteristic of possessing the expected volume of a great Ribera del Duero wine while simultaneously displaying unexpected finesse for a wine of this youth. The mouth is left with a fruity, flavorful, and fresh sensation of a truly exceptional vintage.
It is surely one of the best Corimbos so far.
