Notes:
These is one of the jewels created by the Arzuaga family, it is only produced when the best harvest take place, and then wine is kept maturing for no less than 40 months.

On the nose the complexity is great, bringing together liquorice, truffles, berries and a touch of cinnamon.

On the palate, is silky and truly delicious, a great example of how top wines taste, while at affordable prices. 


Ideal to have on its own, but also good match to poultry dishes, beef and medium cheeses.
