  A 150ml glass served from a new bottle through Coravin.
  Very soft, at the RdD side, on the nose. Aromas of apple pie, herbal, a perfume. Wood is slightly intrusive and intermingles with the typical memories of strawberries, violets and coal mineral.
  The most striking feature on the palate is the central aisle that causes sharp acidity. It has a decent length for such a lactic density. Null aftertaste and unappreciable tannins. More and more modern It loses more and more its varietal character.
  
  Una copa de 150ml servida de una botella nueva mediante Coravin.
  Muy suave, del lado RdD, en nariz. Aromas a tarta de manzana, herbal, un perfume. La madera es ligeramente intrusiva y se entremezcla con los típicos recuerdos a fresas, violetas y mineral de carbón.
  En boca lo que más llama la atención es el pasillo central que provoca la puntiaguda acidez. Tiene una decente longitud para semejante densidad láctica. Nulo retrogusto e inapreciables taninos. Cada vez más moderno. Pierde cada vez más su carácter varietal.

  Baseline. Still pretty young. Purple red rim, black centre. Lots of fruit, but still tannic. Already delicious but wait five years for next bottle.
