Fall of the Roman Empire
Matsu could possibly be my favorite wine. I love the labels, it has that Benjamin Button vibe going on. Each bottle has a distinct nose and taste. It has been said that each personality on the label embodies the characteristics of the wine.
Matsu Wine Trilogy (‘El Pícaro’, ‘El Recio’ and ‘El Viejo’) is an organic wine from Spain, naturally aged. The labels represent portraits of three generations that devote their lives to the field.
The son, El Picaro, is a youthful wine with an intense aroma from it's fruity taste, like blackberries and blueberries. A fresh wine with bit of complexity and body, with a touch of vanilla. As like it's label, the youngest generation of this trilogy, the wine represents youth, strength, valiant, and audacity.
The father, El Recio, represents experience, strength and serenity. El Recio is a full body wine with a lot of finesse and an intense nose, which takes some time to open up. It has a smooth and lingering taste of chocolote, blackberry, and vanilla. A big body that is easy to drink.
The grandfather, El Viejo, is a glass staining wine. It has a deep cherry red color, yet it's clean and bright. The complex aromas of ripe black fruit, softens and gives freshness to this powerful wine. This one would be my particular favorite. High presence of alcohol, rich palate with a spicy aftertaste.
