Vega Clara - Mario Tempranillo - Cabernet Sauvignon 2020 (750ml) RhôneVery expressive wine with ripe and very fresh fruit. Spicy, clean and elegant. On the palate it is sweet and voluminous. Spicy flavors of black fruit, very fine tannins and good acidity. Long and pleasant finish. In short, always ELEGANT. Always MARIO. Perfection in grape form.
