Lean black cherry, licorice, meaty, a little game and leather. Killer for a cheapie!

Aspirational label with all the raised embossed stuff and the gold on black. But light weight like it’s not supposed to be aged. Well I’m doing 2012 in 2021. Interesting mix (Temp, Granacha, & Cariñena). Dark-ish. Slightly ruby. Smells like mashed tart berries of some sort. Rhubarb. Rhubarb and strawberry crisp filling before it’s cooked. Also something vegetal and green. Like cut shoots on a spring willow. Flavors are nice. Balanced, biting and juyceyyy! Lots of kinds of cherries and berries and some minty, bright streak. Lingers long with well made berry jam notes. This is a nice blend right out of the gran Españ a playbook. So damn juuuiiicy!

Watching Australian Open. So emotions may be all over the place. Anyway ..very nice balance of tempranillo and Grenache. ( thank you for specifying) delicate, smooth, very nice. I need to go back to my game. ;)
