Charred oak wafts from the glass and envelopes the dark, rich fruit laden palate. Delicious. Powerful. Modern. Know what you're in for, and you'll have a good time.

This wine of garnacha tintorera (a grape whose pulp is dark) is surprising: its opacity is very high, and its legs tint the glass. It´s powerful, but complex. It´s very hard to find something like this for this price. I really like it.

I confess that I don't understand the allure of this wine, so dominated with a charcoal scent and taste that it seems that someone burned the inside of the barrels before fermenting this.
