Soft and balanced. Elegant, with earthy nose and palate. Nice finish. A very nice wine.

The deep nose shows ripe dark fruits, dark chocolate, cedar, dried tree bark, and tobacco. Profound mineral and savory notes on the palate that is dense and powerful yet with a soft dimension and balanced acidity.
This 100% Tempranillo from Navarra is very different than those from Rioja or Ribera del Duero. My first bottle with Vino de Pago designation, which is primary designed to promo great sites for less prestige DO’s such as Navarra and La Mancha.

Beautiful ruby burgundy colors. Aromas of red fruit, vanilla, and oak. Jammy, mossy, smooth, and easy drinking.

14 months of French oak. Very elegant. A bit soft and polished for my liking, by obviously good fruit.
