This one has a very intriguing aromatic profile. Rhubarb, Incense, cherries, dried strawberries. It is a very light and delicate style of Garnacha. Almost Nebbiolo like without almost any tannin. Interesting stuff. Only around 4000 bottles filled.

Exceptional. Slightly darker color than 17 and 18 and more fruit forward. Worked for me. Label says abv still at 13.5 but would have bet a bit higher.
