Blend of 91% Tempranillo & 9% Cabernet Sauvignon, aged for 11 months in French barrels for 11 months. Deep Ruby with aromas of berry fruits, spice and herb notes. On the palate flavors of cherry and blackberry with notes of oak and black pepper notes. Fine soft tannins, great balance with acidity, long finish ending with fruit and mineral notes.

Didn’t used to like this. May be a vintage thing. Really well balanced and a killer value.

$19.99, a lively Tempranillo with black cherry notes and slate like minerality

Winery right next to my favorite Vega Sicilia, but at fraction of price...

Está bien, pero para mi no tanto como venden las críticas.

Dark ruby color with a bit of orange/brown rim. Aggressive oak notes upfront, baking spices and sweet cinnamon. Given some time, there are ripe raspberry, sour cherry, cranberry, tar, cedar box and a hint of rose petals. Super tight on the palate with huge amounts of tannins all over the mouth. Nice complexity on this price point though. Need a big steak for sure. 13.5% abv

Still too young. A lot of smoke and tobacco on the nose. Tanning still too strong and stiff.

A bit unbalanced and the nose smells a bit too much like a wine cellar. Maybe it could use a few years on the shelf. Nonetheless, it's nice and full, and hits a few interesting earthy notes, despite lacking overall charisma.
