FINCA RÍO NEGRO 5th YEAR

Tasting Note

An extraordinarily complex, balanced and elegant wine.

The nose is opulent, complex and intense, with black fruits predominating, well coupled with notes of new wood, both spicy and balsamic. The palate is powerful, fleshy and very persistent, but at the same time balanced and very polished, with silky tannin and a long aftertaste.
