The nose opens with complex aromas of blackberry, plum, and cassis, intertwined with hints of vanilla, tobacco, and subtle spice from its time in oak.

On the palate, Almirante 2017 reveals generous dark fruit flavors, well-structured tannins, and balanced acidity. Layers of cedar, cocoa, and leather add depth, while the finish is long, smooth, and elegant.
