Notes | |||
"Deep garnet red with a ruby rim. On the nose, notes of very ripe fruit - plum, figs and fruit compote - stand out. All enveloped in notes of vanilla, caramel, black pepper and smoke. A well-structured wine, with ripe, sweet tannins on the palate. It has a long life ahead of it." —winemaker |
Critical Acclaim | |||
"Creamy flavors of baked currant, fig cake, dark chocolate and black tea are well-knit and expressive in this harmonious red, backed by citrusy acidity and firm, chewy tannins. Ends with a lingering, spiced finish. Tempranillo and Graciano. Drink now through 2030. 9,000 cases made, 1,400 cases imported." —Wine Spectator |
