Dotrera 2018

Beautiful deep, garnet color.
The nose is complex and opens with notes of wild fruits,
of cherry and licorice. A mouth with a lot of finesse,
crisp and full. Perfect maturity of the grapes on aromas
of raspberry and blackcurrant with powdery tannins and a woody
subtle. The minerality is expressed by a smoky side, expression
direct from the terroir. Long and fresh finish.
