Numanthia tasting note:
Numanthia wine has a ripe cherry color with ruby reflections.
On the nose, the wine appears elegant, friendly, fresh and deep, with hints of red berries, scrubland, a background of sweet spices and graphite.
On the palate, the entry is expressive, broad, friendly, fresh and sweet. The tannin is serious and ripe, well covered and with a great sensation of volume. Black fruit such as blueberries and currants, vanilla, cinnamon, graphite, nutmeg and hints of rosemary. Good acidity lengthens it and allows this wine to age gracefully over the years.
