TASTING by Javier Azcona

The wine is clear, medium intensity, amber coloured (orange), gliceric in tears.

It is clean in aromas, fruity (green, pear, quince). Flowers. Some nuts (chestnut), fig.

Medium+ intensity in the nose.

Dry, medium+ acidity, medium body, salty.

High alcohol, integrated, silky. Very soft tannins.

Intensity medium, nuts, salt, oak, some green notes, caramel.

Long finish, quality, intense and with a soft palate.

In my opinion, it is a very good Quality wine, soft, integrated acidity and alcohol, complex in flavours, and you can drink now with some potential for ageing (1-2 years).

The tannins are soft, pulids. Very fruity, and very good acidity (with fruit and gummy bear). The tertiary flavours are balanced, and tranquile in my mouth. Smooth texture.

PAIRING

Cheese cake and lemon cream.

Vino de color anaranjado con reflejos ambarinos. Presenta, en nariz, aromas de intensidad media-alta a cítricos(piel de naranja confitada), floral(manzanilla fresca), frutos secos tostados(almendras y avellanas), tostados, ahumados y nuez moscada, todo el conjunto bien integrado. En boca es seco, cálido, anotando un paso denso y aspero, pero armonioso, con la acidez equilibrada. Postgusto a miel y nuez moscada, de persistencia larga. Se puede conservar la botella abierta, en buenas condiciones, durante un prolongado espacio de tiempo. Precio por botella: 18 euros. Es un vino de aperitivo.
