Red Wine	Score: ✧✧✧✧✧

A great wine. It shows a deep ruby red color and nuances of garnet red, impenetrable to light. The nose reveals great personality with intense, clean, pleasing, refined and very elegant aromas that start with hints of plum, blackberry and black cherry followed by good and intense aromas of blueberry, violet, licorice, vanilla, cocoa, cinnamon and hints of menthol and thyme. In the mouth has very good to the nose, a slightly tannic attack and however well balanced by alcohol, full body, intense flavors, good tannins, very agreeable. The finish is very persistent with long flavors of plum, black cherry, blueberry and blackberry. A magnificent wine. La Poja is produced with overripe grapes and ages in cask for 20 months followed by 16 months in bottle.
