Bhilar, Carrakripan 2018

DOC Rioja

Deep gold in color. On the nose, the aromas of orange zest, mandarin, acacia honey, beeswax, cedarwood, licorice, hints of tobacco and hints of menthol. Ultra-fine, lacy, and fresh tannins underscore the wine's verticality. Salty and fresh menthol-eucalyptus notes in a truly inspiring finish. An exceptional wine.
