Dark ruby in color with a wide reddish rim and medium intensity.
Full bodied with medium acidity.
Dry on the palate with nice complexity and a soft mouthfeel.
Showing black and red fruits with tobacco, cedar, vanilla, leather, earth, chocolates, tobacco, spices and peppercorn.
Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy raspberries.
This is a delicious Tempranillo from Rioja. Nicely balanced and still very young, although it is a 6-year-old wine.
I had the 2011 a couple of years ago and loved it too.
Will continue to age nicely in the next 10 years. Has good potential to become a 94+ point wine.
Good right out of the bottle, and good by itself or with food.
A blend of 91% Tempranillo and 9% Graciano. Aged in new French oak barrels for 25 months. Made only in special vintages, a few times per decade.
14% alcohol by volume.
92 points.
$65.
