Tasting notes
APPEARANCE: This 2010 presents an incredible deep purple color. Indeed,
the first 24 hours of fermentation, the juice came out unusually bright red
purple or black for certain tanks
NOSE: There were strong flavors that emerged from the tanks
MOUTH: Lot of fruits and already showing an appealing soft roundness.
Incredibly soft tannins supported by a wonderful acidity that provides a remarkably long finish
