15%abv. Opague deep ruby. Exhibiting intense ripe Tempranillo characters, ripe blackberry, mulberry, blackcherry, dry flowers, tobacco, incense stick, tar, dark chocolate, expresso, sweet toasty oak, pungent licorice and hint of gamey earthiness.
It is a full bodied powerful wine as one might expect with resolving chewy tannins, driven by mouthwatering freshness, loads of red fruits bursting out on mid palate, all the way led by a saline and minerally long finish. It actually is quite charm and well balanced that fully expresses the beauty of low yield and old vines without being clumsy. Beautiful and exotic!
