A deep cherry color, high lamina, with violet colored notes in its border. Thanks to the barrel aging the wine acquired a very intense nose with mature black fruit aromas, well integrated with the toasted, spiced and smoked notes. Corpulent in the mouth with very mature and round tannins that give its sweetnes. In the long and persistent aftertaste appear once again mature fruit perfectly assembled with the roasted character of the wood. The wine is immensely powerful and complex, offering cigar box, lavender and graphite nuances against a backdrop of dense cherry and bramble fruit.

Matsu is the Japanese word for 'wait', and the winery's philosophy is one of patience and environmental harmony. 'El Viejo' is 'The Old One' of the Matsu range, made from the fruit of selected Tinta de Toro vines, averaging 110 years of age.
