Chivite Colección 125 Reserva 2017

CATA's notes:

• Brilliant in color, dark ruby.
• On the nose, it is fresh and expressive, fruity, with some sweet, humid notes but above all of dry earth, a great wealth of nuances in a spectacular and very appetizing balance. When it opens, the wild sensations are enlivened, low forest, juniper and cedar wood, spicy notes of pepper, orange and an aroma of black plums combined with blueberries.
• Its passage through the mouth is expressed in a powerful, well-structured way, reflecting the black fruit intermingled with cloves. Tasty, good quality tannins, with a long-lasting finish and an elegant profile that is recognized as a high-end wine.
