Cherry, nose that follows through in the mouth with strawberries and cranberries. Round, fruit forward, medium bodied. Quite nice.

Winery recently celebrated its 75th anniversary! Ruby with big aromas of dark fruit and spicy notes. On the palate blackberry & plum flavors with notes of cinnamon and vanilla. Fine savory tannins on medium finish ending with sweet herb notes. Nice value. Consistent quality.

Red ruby in color.

On the nose, blackberries, licorice, vanilla and cherries.

Palate of blackberries, blueberries, figs, oak, black pepper, vanilla, licorice, earth and spices.

Long finish of mainly secondary flavors with nice tannins. This 100% Tempranillo spent 14 months in American oak barrels and then, 8 months in the bottle.

13.5% alcohol by volume.

Vintage 2015 Tasted rather bitter at first sip, became more friendly with food. Good tempranillo. Paired with cote de Boeuf. At restaurant Thym by Parkzicht

В аромате войлочная вишня, шелковица, животные нотки, ваниль, дерево. На удивление мягкие танины, приятное послевкусие, неплохой баланс. Достойная Риоха!
