Pleasant inoffensive dark inky fruit bomb w/some pepper thrown in for good measure. Mid weight, lacked tannic structure, felt flabbby on palate but still enjoyable if that’s your bag. Expected more structure & nuance.

As the label implies, color is reddish garnet, rather opaque and quite dense. Aromas of currant and sweaty horse. Good length of structure with nice dark cherry flavors along the way, and dark plum acidity. Quite linear, so not much more to it. Good basic entry-level tempranillo, showing good character and expression of fruit. Great to be paired with rices or stews. 85 pts.
