9.5

Not the greatest of tempranillos, could use more of a full, buttery, oaky finish, but certainly a strong middle of the pack contender for tempranillos with more red fruits than one would expect. In other words, well above the unsophisticated, acidic edge you’ll find in poor tempranillos, but not the type that will linger in your mouth and mind, with a robust finish.
