Bien De Altura Ikewen 2020

Pale ruby in the glass with aromas of juicy cherries, black currants, raspberry and violets. On the palate, crunchy fruits with leather, black tea pepper and a wonderful smokiness. Great volcanic mineral structure, medium bodied and subtle tannins. Long and evolving meaty finish. Unusual and delicious.
