Nose: An aristocratic, powerful, and extraordinarily complex bouquet. Initially, dense notes of very ripe black fruit, dried plums, blueberry compote, and black licorice stand out. Upon aeration, it unfolds a superb tertiary aromatic range: fine toasted wood, sweet spices (clove, nutmeg), vanilla, fine notes of bitter cocoa, blond tobacco, and a persistent mineral background characteristic of Ribera del Duero.
