Good, simple style. Gets better after being open for a few days, hence the rating.

Garden variety garnacha with silky structure, medium-low acids, and almost no tannins. Lots of ripened strawberries and raspberries. Ultimately a bit simplistic.

Nice entry level wine that’s light and balanced. Red fruit typical of Garnacha. This is a buy and drink wine - not for cellaring!
