Well balanced wine. Dark fruits and dusty tannins. More than medium body but not heavy.

A blend of 70% Tempranillo, 13% Cabernet and 17% Syrah (unusual grape in the region, not permitted by the neighboring Ribera del Duero appellation). Red fruit, some leather. Balanced, long, silky. Spectacular.

First words - wow. Dark berries, medium/full body. Spicy and a tiny bit earthy.

A little molasses and dark fruit (maybe a hint of tobacco?) on the front of the palette. Oak on the finish. Really, really spectacular.

Complex. Deep-colored. Low acid. Fresh berries, plum, tobacco, vanilla, leather, and herbs. Everything a tempernillo ought to be.
