It's like its label - on the one side fruity new world style, and on the other earthy deep and a bit rustic, deeper shade of cellar . Intensive, heavy & full bodied Duero. Deep garnet color. Black plum, earthy, balsamic & oaky but just right, tobacco box . Interesting peppery finish. Sweet polished tannins, drink now - very good wine.

Elegant, raspberry, strawberry flavors. Smooth and easy to drink. Delicious with an array of cheeses (goat, cow).

Young. Tight. Merlot actually takes something away. Makes it very simple/non-dimensional and does not last long on the palette.
