Carlos Plaza shows an intense cherry color with purple and garnet hints. Medium-body, clean and shinning.

Intense and elegant nose. First, aromas of quite mature red fruits. Afterwards, you can notice the subtle aromas provided by the stay in the barrel. Vanilla, cacao and some toasted and spicy hints. Rich in aromas partly due to the use of the two different barrels.

Nice and amiable entry in the mouth. Well-balanced, soft, ripe tannins and delicious notes of liquorice and coffee liquor. Good persistence. It invites to keep on drinking.
