Tasting note

Bierzo fruit is expected to feel fresh and finely textured, lively acidity carrying the red fruit while supple tannins provide shape. The projected peak concludes in 2027, with the drinking span continuing to 2030. A dry finish should leave berry, savory herbs and a subtle mineral note.
