Real de Asúa 2015

• 75cl bottle

This is a cherry coloured wine with bluish notes on the meniscus. It offers a wide range of aromas and we can find the fruits of the forest, highlighting blueberries and gooseberries, licorice and aromas from the ageing in French oak barrels, such as clove, smoked or roasted flavours, toffees, etc. When we taste it we discover an endless number of sensations. Its entrance is smooth with a step marked by a tannin which is perfectly balanced with the unctuousness of the wine. The aftertaste leaves a little hint of acidity which gives freshness and length, and some fruity flavours mixed with sweet spices in the end. In glass it evolves by expanding its aromatic variety.
