Finca Río Negro 5 Año

Descriptive Tasting Note

In the glass, it displays an intensely deep, dark cherry red color, framed by a texturized rim where brick and garnet highlights confidently reveal its majestic and patient bottle evolution. The nose unfolds with extraordinary refinement, offering a deep symphony of fully evolved aromas. Initially, it surprises with notes of very mature stewed black fruits, such as plums and dried figs, which quickly intertwine with memories of pipe tobacco, fine leather, cedar wood, and cashmere. As it breathes, hints of exotic spices like nutmeg and cloves come forward, along with a mineral backdrop that evokes wet earth and subtle touches of pure dark chocolate. On the palate, the entry is majestic, bold, and sumptuous. The mouthfeel is absolute velvet; the tannins, beautifully polished and rounded by the passage of time, are fully melted into a silky texture that gracefully cloaks an imposing structure. Surprisingly, despite its long aging, the wine keeps alive the crisp high-altitude acidity signature of the estate, bringing brightness, balance, and infinite finesse. Balsamic undertones, noble oak roasts, and seasoned fruit flavors linger almost endlessly. The finish rewards the palate with memorable persistence and distinction, leaving a classy, smoky, and spicy aftertaste.
