Notes | |||
"Bright cherry-red color and a rim with roof tile tones. High aromatic intensity, clean and sound. Complex on the nose with coffee, vanilla, roast and balsamic nuances integrated into an intense bottom note of ripe fruit. Elegant and round. It is well balanced with a velvety attack followed by a pleasant acidity and a silky and full-bodied aftertaste resulting from its noble and ripe tannin. Its long aftertaste has spicy and balsamic hints, resulting from its long and peaceful ageing, as well as confit fruit nuances that uncover its personality." —winemaker |
Critical Acclaim | |||
"Ripe cherries and currants on the nose, with lots of aromas of wet leaves, leather, nutshells and wet earth. Medium body with a firm, chalky tannin structure and vivid acidity, making it lively and attractive. Refined and balanced, with cherries, tobacco and wet stones at the end. Tempranillo and graciano. Vegan. Drink or hold." —James Suckling |
