Big and brawny with tobacco, plum, dark wet earth, black fruits. Very polished. Holds its 16% alcohol very well.

Hedonistic, uncomplicated and so easy to drink. Layers of black and dark red fruits. High glycerin mold well over a solid ripe tannic structure.

Monastrell and Cabernet. The wine is fairly good, though not sure I agree with the 92 and 93 points from Parker and Galloni.

(**) red vine cherry, plum punch, drinks young, shows almost no oak. A fresh, easy drinker that, with a bit more concentration, would be excellent.

This winery is located in the best terroir of La Mancha found in the eastern region of the Denomination of Origin. Deep purple with aromas of dark fruits and exotic spices. On the palate blackberry and blueberry flavors adding in sweet savory spice, rich and elegant. Fine perdistent tannins, medium+ finish ending with spicy character. Nice!

Tons of flavor but definitely needed to breathe for a bit

It's been a year or so since I last had this. A little too much sugar left for my taste. Nice smokey nose, charcoal, but on the palate... Some sweet. Big tannins. Deep, dark color. Decent, but there are better options at this price point.

Solid blend, obviously some cab. Lingers on the roof of the mouth — surprised me. Would get again.

Very fruity, dark, high pourcentage of alcool but we don’t notice it.
