Tasting Notes from Pinto Wines |
|
| Colour | Depth red color |
| Nose | Notable for its remarkable intensity and complexity, without being dominated by the oxidative characteristics that are typically associated with an aged wine. In addition to dark fruit and orange peel, the licorice and spicy aromas stand out. In the background, the balsamic notes can also be appreciated, which give it a great appeal and a touch of freshness, along with notes of fallen leaves, tobacco and nuts that enclose that complexity in a great harmony of aromas. |
| Palate | Great intensity while exuding smoothness. With very pleasant tactile sensations that denote warmth, it maintains great energy based on its good acidity. Its beginning is sweet and enveloping, giving way to a lengthy, extremely pleasant mouth that culminates in a complex aftertaste. A wine rich with subtleties that provokes thought and discovery. |
