Very young in appearance and fruit profile. I did not decant and the wine showed a bit closed on opening and took time to open up. Delicate rioja with a long lingering finish, mineral accent and a balanced creamy note.
Ct drinking window is way off; dont think this is at plateau yet and when it reaches that it wil go on for another decade or so.

100% Tempranillo. Deep ruby colour. Dark fruit bomb (blackberries, cherries, plums) with great taste coming from French barriques (smokiness, coffee, dark chocolate). Fine fresh acidity. Smooth tannins. Medium+ body and aftertaste. Very good. On its top.

Color: deep ruby / Nose: intense, dark fruits like plum etc., leather, coffee, minerality / Palate: medium+ acidity, medium+ and silky tannins, great length, medium bodied, aromas see nose (additional sour cherries) / Overall: I tasted the wine at the winery. It is a very elegant and precise wine which is probably at its peak.
