Tasting Notes

Balsamic and mineral hints and a finish revealing light nuances of fresh vegetables.
Todovino MMIX Guide
”A smooth and delicate vintage revealing excellent maturity, harmony, freshness and interesting balsamic qualities. This new vintage has the added merit of an increased production, which confirms its excellent design and style and its growing stability. A wine full of personality that highlights a typicity that is best described as complex, elegant and moreish. It is without doubt one of the most personal, distinctive and satisfying oaked reds of our range. With an intriguing label half-way between Russian avant-garde and German constructivism, AN/2 is the physical and ideological offspring of its older relative, AN. In fact both are the result of a meticulous selection of barrels in the winery before the definitive coupage is carried out. The resulting AN/2 has great personality and shows the infinite possibilities of a vineyard yet to be discovered. Ánima Negra leads the way in quality wine in an area with enormous potential thanks to the performance of the indigenous variety of callet, which is known to complement international varieties such as cabernet sauvignon and syrah. AN/2 is one of those wines that has to be tried to unveil the unique characteristics and qualities of the island of Mallorca, once again proving that good wines can originate from the least expected places.”
