Red fruit and spice nose. Dark red and inky in appearance. On the palate it has a lovely tannin balance to the Tempranillo fruit running right through. Light bodied, but well structured, and a nice acid balance. Opens up on the glass. You might decant, which I didn’t.

Very masculine in the palate. The nose was promising but the wine delivered like Shiraz. Disappointing compared with other tastings of this wine. The mouthfeel was too muddy and the fruit evident in its aroma was not delivered. Doubt that aging will improve it.
