Deep Ruby with an elegant bouquet of ripe berry fruits, pepper spice with earthy tones, a traditional Rioja. On the palate flavors of plum and jammy cherry, tobacco, oak, pepper spice, lively acidity. Fine chewy tannins, medium+ finish ending with fruit, oak, spice and an earthy character.

Bright Ruby with fresh red fruit aromas and a touch of oak and spice. Aged for 24 months, 50% American oak, 50% French oak, plus 3 years in the bottle before release. On the palate cherry and blueberry with pepper, tobacco and cacao spice with lively acidity and good balance. Fine soft tannins, medium finish ending with toasty oaky spice character. Nice value!
