Dark Ruby red with aromas of dark berry fruit, spice, floral and cedar, blend of 75% Tempranillo and 25% Merlot, aged 14 months in French oak. On the palate flavors of blackberry, currants, vanilla, spice and licorice. Fine tannins, medium+ finish ending with fruit, herb spice and oaky character.

What a gem! Rich ruby w/mild bricking at edge: gorgeous nose of dusty red & black fruit and tons of secondary notes - anywhere from coffee, tobacco, cassis, licorice & cocoa to dried herbs & minerals, very finely delineated red berried fruit at times, vein of minerality cutting through nose & palate. You can smell & taste the Tempranillo & Merlot individually. Med bodied w/finely grained tannins, regal bearing, integrated acidity and lingering finish. Going back to buy whatever they have left. Bump for QPR. Great chance to taste mature wine in the pocket
