Tasting notes

Faustino I Gran Reserva 2016 has a deep ruby colour with intense brownish tints. On the nose it offers a complex, elegant aroma, with ripe fruit such as plum and cherry alongside notes of sweet spice, tobacco and toffee. On the palate it is structured and fruity, with flavours of black and forest fruits. The acidity is excellent, the tannins perfectly integrated and the finish very long, showing a concentrated profile.
