Tasting Notes
Nose
Wilder than Espadín. Roasted peppers, green herbs, dried tropical fruit. The encino wood fermentation adds earthy depth from the opening.
Palate
Bold and textured. Roasted agave, dark chocolate edge, a savoury mineral backbone. Eleven years of maturity shows in every sip.
Finish
Dry and persistent. Smoke gives way to tannin and mineral. Stays longer than expected.
How to Serve
Neat. Temperature between 16–18°C.
Food Pairing
Dark chocolate, aged cheddar, slow-cooked pork.
