Winery, recently celebrated its 75th anniversary. A blend of 90% Tempranillo, 7% Graciano & 3% Mazuelo. Deep red with full aromas of black fruit, espresso & oak notes. On the palate flavors of blackberry and plum with tobacco, citrus, herbs and creamy oak. Nice fine tannins with balanced acidity ending with big oaky tones. Good value, has some short term aging potential.

Dark ruby in color with a purplish rim.
Nose of blueberries, blackberries, cherries, cranberries, licorice, oak and vanilla.
Dry and spicy On the palate, with earth, blueberries, blackberries, cherries, black currants, cedar, vanilla, spices and black pepper.
Full bodied and vibrant.
Long finish with round tannins.
A Nice, Gran Reserva. Time in the bottle worked its magic, and it's only the beginning. Will be much better in 5 to 15 years.
Aged for 30 months in oak barrels, and then 36 months in the bottle.
14% alcohol by volume.
90% Tempranillo, 5% Mazuelo, 5% Graciano.

A bit earthy - first nose. Then a blueberry, vanilla, an oak. This producer never disappoints.
