"Sizzling with bright acidity and with tannins as fine as pencil shavings, there's a distinctively Gualtallary character to the nose, with chalk and wild herbs. Juicy notes of fresh blackcurrant underpins the fragrant, lively and powdery finish."

"The 2023 Cabernet Sauvignon Edad Moderna is clear and defined, with cherry, sour cherry, cassis and a near-floral nuance. It is intense and expressive, with fine grain and medium density. This is long on the palate, with strong flavor definition and pyrazines that frame its delicate profile."
