AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

One magnum (1.5L)
The most ambitious project by Miguel Ángel de Gregorio and his sister Mercedes, one of the wines with the most personality in Rioja. The name itself is a statement of intent, evoking the "golden or divine ratio". The 1996 vintage reaffirmed the personality of a long-lived wine, full of nuances and subtleties.
Vinification: 26 days in vats, malolactic fermentation took place in barrels

Pairing: Meat, cheese and Iberian ham
Appearance: Intense violet red
Nose: Powerful and elegant, with a great complexity of aromas (jams, minerals, menthol, spices, wild herbs, caramel and cocoa)
Palate: Great harmony, with sweet tannins, very complex and rich in aromas of black fruit, raisins, liquorice, coffee, ink and aromatic herbs. Persistent finish
