2010: The year of light
2010 will be remembered by its long periods of sun, which accompanied grapevine throughout its cycle.
That summer sunshine seems to be bottled along with the wine, reflecting somehow the outstanding character of the 2010 vintage, which offered us an exceptional harvest regarding quality, balance and potential.
WINE TASTING
Intense, very strong dark cherry colour. Has a complex bouquet, in which outstand touches of ripe red fruit (blackberry, prunes…) with slight balsamic hints and straight after reminding of cocoa, high roast with mineral background. In the mouth it has both body and acidity, which give the wine a fresh and appetising touch, with sweet and velvety tannins. We feel the fruit and the well integrated ageing touches coming back to the nose, with a long and tasty end.
