Flor de Flor de Primavera

Samsó

100% Cariñena from old vines

Red ruby of medium to high intensity and violet reflects. Pronounced aromas of herbs and liquorice, together with toasted and peppery notes. On the palate it shows a big and fleshy body so characteristic to this varietal, showcasing notes of cooked red fruits. Long and complex finish with layers of leather, dried fruits, cigars, and dark chocolate.
