A brooding savory nose of dark fruit with sour cherry, a touch of wood. A serious and lovely palate. Iron, tangy fruit. Very good.

84 темпранильо, 13 гарнача, 3 масуэло.аромат весьма закрытый: намек на тона выдержки, легкая пряность, дуб. Хороший баланс: мощные танины и кислотность,еще очень молодо

Sour red & black cherry nose. Red and lighter black fruits. Red and purple florals, soft leather, saw dust tannins, soft Mouthfeel and shows some elegance but a little light on finish.

2015 vintage. Seemingly impassive. Chiseled but a few, slight cracks in the armor. Tight and dry now and wouldn't revisit unless a dare/bet is lost in the next 15 years. Medium body. Going to be a star tho...just taking the long, roundabout way. If you've gotta crack it, give it plenty of time and air-like an 8hr decant. 4.12.23.

J’avais plus apprécié, il y a quelques années, manquait de backbone, le vin semblait mou, aucun tannins, gros fruits rouges confiturés, lourd et sucré. Ca faisait longtemps que j’avais eu une mauvaise expérience avec l’Espagne
