Bright red in color. Fine, very fruity and complex aroma, very fruity, with predominance of ripe black plums and cassis, very characteristic of this wine, with notes of vanilla from the aging in oak. Tasteful, full-bodied, complex, fruity red wine with velvety tannins, supported by good acidity, which provides a good balance and a fine, rather long finish.

The drought that characterized the 2017 vintage continued all through the beginning of 2018 until March. Between March and May it have rained twice as much than average, and the poor steep slopes suffered great damage from erosion. This much rainfall compromised bud break and flowering, resulting in extremely low yields and costly works in the vineyard. Fortunately, July was warm and dry with temperatures within normal average, and that good weather continued until the end of the harvest, allowing grapes to reach perfect maturations. Despite de low yields, 2018 harvest showed powerful wines with wonderful color and intense aromas
