  • Color rojo-ladrillo, con excelente cuerpo y piernas largas. En nariz, y después de unos minutos de oxigenación, ofreció aromas de frutos rojos y negros, con un toque de chocolate. En boca, un muy buen equilibrio entre acidez y taninos, un vino "atrerciopelado". Sobresale el gusto a frutas. Con un final largo y persistente.
    Lo maridé con unos cortes sonorenses al carbón, y queso "de cincho" asado.

  • Very dark purple in color. On the nose I get cherry and red apple. There is also strawberry and a slight earthiness. There is also a green component with a hint of creamy oak and a slight heat. The palate is very thick in mouth feel. Initially there is a red fruit meets green vegetable, that transitions to some serious oaky spice. It finishes pretty hot with more cherry and strawberry fruit. This wine seems a bit confused but there is nice fruit and that green component that I like. Dark and spicy and I kind of like it.
