Martinez Alesanco Reserva 2016 (023)

Blackcurrants, blackberries and ripe cherries that evolve slowly along with the vanilla from the wood, to show the great aroma complexity of this rich wine that leaves flavors lingering on the palate.

It has remained in new American and French oak barrels for 20 months. After aging, it rested in the bottle for 24 months until it was re­leased to the market.

Visual - Garnet red, with upper middle robe. Intense pigmentation and ruby.

Nose- Blackcurrants, blackberries, ripe cherries. A wine that evolves slowly in the glass. Balsamic hints, vanilla from the wood in the background and mineral notes.

Taste - A fresh enter. A rich wine thanks to the hints of cocoa and vanilla thanks to the time in the barrel. Long aftertaste that leaves the palate imbued with a complex range of flavors that invite you to drink.
