Description
The wines intended for the Reserva de la Familia come from a selection of old vines which meet a number of features such as a good location, good sun exposure and barely fertile soil which ensures a low yield.
The minimum age of the vines is 45 years.
Tasting
Red cherry high notes.
Clean nose, with good intensity. Memories of ripe fruit, preserve (jam) on a background of fine wood, with a marked balsamic (eucalyptus, pine) character.
Powerful on the palate, dense, structured, with good tannins. The finish is broad, complex, long and persistent.
We recommend that you taste it at 18°C.
