Cosme Palacio 1894 tinto 2018

Intense red with scarlet highlights. A very aromatic nose, of great intensity and purity as a whole, formed by fruity notes, with a predominance of fresh red berries and light floral notes in the background. The barrel adds a mixture of different aromas on the nose such as cinnamon, vanilla, patisserie, pipe tobacco and mineral highlights. The wine shows itself to be powerful, robust, with muscle, enveloping the palate with flavour and texture. A marked vinous character, with well balanced acidity. A harmonious finish, flavourful and with a great persistence of flavour.
