Clos Figueras Poblets del Montsant Tinto 2020

Visually a bright intense red color with violet tones. Red fruits on the nose evolve to a more spicy, balsamic, toasty character and great freshness. Full and rich in the mouth showing hints of oak and a delightful spiciness. The tannins are present but not overbearing. A delightful, elegant Montsant with a fresh and persistent finish.
