You're at a bullfight, only the bull is Javier Bardem, and the matador is Salvador Dali, and instead of bullfighting, they're slow-dancing.

Very good value for the price, perfect for a day to day wine :)

Cherry, dump earth and black pepper on the nose with a hint of oak. Ripe red cherry on the tongue with a chocolate finish, balanced acidity and integrated tannins. Not extremely complex but not bad for the price.

Long tanins, alcohol taste, and oak did not come through. Not for me, won't buy again.
edit: apparently I thought otherwise of the 2016 and 2014 and liked those 🤷
