Bierzo, Castilla y León, Spain
Bold cranberry and currant with mild hints of abuse and mint. Soft yet grippy with tight little tannins that cling to your tongue like a melody from the past. Needs time so you can hear the orchestra, but will delicious today. Pair with meatballs and Mikes Davis.

Dense purple. Cranberry, blackberry aromas along with a graphite/dark toned mineral aspect. Intense savoury palate and long firm but fine finish.

Big plum, blackberry and a hint of olive. The longer it stayed in the glass, the more complex, peppery and light it became.
