Colour: Lighter than the majority of Spanish examples I've tasted. Garnet core to a watery rose rim.

Nose: Red fruits, mild oak, and some spice, coming across rather closed.

Palate: medium bodied, soft tannins, acidity is balanced. Palate confirms nose.

For the price ($17 in NS) this is a nice change from the over-oaked style so many Spanish Tempranillos exhibit.

After some decanting it is much more expressive and softens further. A slight coffee note on the nose becomes apparent with time.

This wine was memorable, which is all I need in a glass.
