Red fruits and some oak on the nose. Taste is medium bodied, good balance, some oak but well integrated. A bit of heat but not disturbing. A good food friendly wine from an upcoming DO. Might buy one or two more and se what happends with cellartime.

Two hour decant, the pour is translucent purple, not terribly dark. This has some heat to it, at 15% it had a lot of legs. The bouquet smacks of strawberry, dark cherry, a touch of vanilla. The palate is clearly berry filled with strawberry in particular, the acidity was noticeable at the tip of the tongue and the tannins were grainy to start out with but faded as the glass took on more air and became much more smooth. With a rich body and a medium finish this is a nice bottle of garnacha.

Drank after a two-hour decant. Has a bite of alcohol smell to the nose with fruit forward cherries in the mix. Maybe hint of tanned leather. 360 degree legs. Cherries and a hint of strawberries on the tongue. There is a bit of a bite but it mellows to a decent finish.

Nose of alcohol, dark red cherry. Medium bodied, long, ripe red fruit. A bit simple, but still enjoyable.
