This 10 year old Spanish red is drinking nicely now, with nice complexity, but not fully balanced. Shows a nice, soft mouthfeel with light vegetable notes. Still has enough fruits, but better to drink it sooner than later.
Good by itself and better with food. Needs 2 to 3 hours in a decanter to open up properly.
Aged in French oak for 18 months.
13.5% alcohol by volume.
