On the nose, this wine approaches with a soft, round, plushness of ripe summer berry fruits and a hint of savory sage. In the mouth, the wine sits silky with a presence of savoriness; it is extremely approachable upfront. This is very typical of Paloma wines thanks to the racking process over the 18 months spent in the barrel. After swallowing, the drinker is hit with powerful, but pleasantly distinguished tannins. This relatively young wine would greatly benefit from some time in the decanter, especially if it is not being enjoyed with food. However, if you are partial to a strong arm of tannins, this wine may be perfect as is.
