Alacrán Obsessum Red Blend
Deep and expressive, with ripe dark fruit aromas of blackberry, black plum and blueberry, complemented by subtle notes of violet, spice and vanilla from its time in oak. On the palate, it is full-bodied and well-structured, with generous fruit, polished tannins and a balanced freshness. The French and American oak aging adds layers of cocoa, sweet spice and delicate toasted notes, leading to a long, persistent finish.
