Nose

This blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Ull de llebre is rich and nuanced. Remembrances of strawberries, cherries and redcurrants, combined with black fruit, toast, aromatic herbs, aniseed, menthol and Mediterranean garrigue.

Palate

Juicy and yummy, this wine from Celler Solano de Menorca shows some mineral and salty notes, combined with remembrances of clove, vanilla and cardamom. Good balance, excellent acidity and lively tannins. Long, smokey-toasted finish

A most interesting international coupage of varieties from Menorca. Good balance, restrained use of oak, medium body, enjoyable freshness. Remembrances of herbs which take you to the wonderful Menorcan landscape.
