Bodegas Cuatro Pasos Bierzo Leo Martin Selección

Medium to Deep Garnet colour, no sediment at all. Nose has jammed cherries, some faint balsamic, touch of heat, spice.

Medium/Deep Garnet colour. Strong sweet cherry and boysenberry on the nose, along with robust notes of vanilla, cinnamon and dark coffee/chocolate. Taste replicates the flavors with subtler touch.
