Opens with dark mulberry and black cherry aromas, with an almost supercharged level of intensity. The nose also has an attractive herbal/floral lavender quality. The palate reflects all this and more, with fine minerally graphite tannins, and a savoury twist on the finish. Deeeliciousss! And so quaffable! An absolute steal!

Great value! Balanced, layered flavors, complex. Would buy a six pack in a heart beat. And I just might.

Very nice red from the Mencia grape.
No hard edges and really a sniffer!

It had a little more body than what I was looking for at the time, and a bit more fruit forward but it's a good wine
