Ripe, fleshy, soft and gently tannic black-fruited Tempranillo fashioned in Riserva style. Blackberry, cassis, baking spice, vanilla, mocha, pipe tobacco. Very hard to differentiate from a ripe Ribera del Duero with its black-fruit profile and oak spice. Abacela has set a high standard for New World Tempranillo.
