88 Points

Friday, March 29, 2024 - dark opaque purplish ruby and appreciable body in the glass. (thankfully misleading) nose of heady coconut and vanilla that permeate the dark berries and plum along with high-toned herbal and lavender whiffs. very structured in the mouth, aeration brings out juicy plum flavours that are interleaved with cinnamon and pepper. there is balanced acidic lift and a subtle balsamic vein. moderate length with a milk chocolate note aftertaste.

accessible now with good aeration, this could benefit from time to integrate the oak influence a bit better. upside potential here.

14.5% AbV; mostly Tempranillo with some Graciano (less than 10%); aged for twenty one month in American oak.
