TASTING NOTES
- Appearance: Sentiments 2019 is a very complex wine. It presents an intense ruby colour.
- Aroma: On the nose is rich, with dark black fruits (plums), toasty and balsamic notes, tobacco leaf and leather notes in an interesting bouquet.
- Palate: In the palate, it is a medium body wine, with good fruit concentration (black fruit again). It displays spice and herbal notes in the mouth, as the wine opens and develops, which makes it very appetizing and a wine to discover with patience. In the mouth it is well- rounded and pleasant with long and fresh aftertaste.
- Pairing: We recommend to serve it accompanying meats, roasts, stews, mushrooms and blue cheeses.
- Serving temperature: 14-16ºC. Decanting recommended. It will age well in bottle for the next 2-3 years.
