Tasting note
- Cherry colored and garnet trim. Abundant, dense and tenuous tear.
- High aromatic intensity, with great complexity and elegance, highlighting the mineral notes and red and black fruits, memories of incense. All this combined with the fine notes of wood from the French oak, such as vanilla, cedar, blond tobacco and spices.
- In the mouth it shows an excellent softness and volume developing a very fine tanica structure that makes it tasty and sapido. The freshness that the Graciano brings, makes it more balanced with respect to alcohol, showing a very long aftertaste and a pleasant ending. By means of retronasal the spicy, fruity and wood notes reappear to us
