  Color rojo cereza, ribete rojizo con irisaciones violáceas, capa alta y fina lágrima bien tintada. Media intensidad en nariz de aromas de fruta madura con abundante presencia de fruta negra (moras y grosellas negras) y pinceladas de fruta roja (fresones silvestres), notas licorosas que recuerdan el licor de frambuesa, especias en granos algo molidas, marcados mentolados y romero fresco, suave recuerdo de cáscara de naranja, hierbas del monte con un fondo de hojarasca fresca y monte bajo. Buena entrada en boca con una larga astringencia no molesta pero bien marcada, buen recorrido algo ligero pero con un nervio que se acentúa a la mitad de su camino, buena acidez, amargo, los tostados de la barrica bien rugosos y taninos duros, licoroso, especiado, algo estrecho y con cierta amplitud, muy directo y unos balsámicos que ayudan a disfrutarlo y contrarrestar su potencia y estructura, buena persistencia. Final largo, postgusto de fruta negra y retronasal muy ahumado.
  Necesita más estancia en botella.

  Appearance: Clear wine with a deep ruby colour.
  
  Nose: Clean nose with a Medium+ intensity. This wine is developing.
  
  Quite intense on the nose, particularly black fruits with fresh bramble and blackberries taking the lead. Oak is present but not overwhelming with cloves and vanilla peaking out. Quite a fresh nose but there are some traces of fresh leather, pipe tobacco and liquorice coming through.
  
  Palate:
  Dry
  Medium+ acidity
  Medium+ alcohol
  Medium+ tannins
  Medium intensity
  Medium+ body
  Medium finish
  
  Fresh, clean and well structured on the palate. Black fruits are still dominant and smooth tannins and a lively acidity generate a pleasant mouthfeel.
  
  Very good quality Tempranillo from La Rioja. Drinking well now but should have the structure to develop over the next 3-8 years. At 20 euros a bottle, solid QPR for this region.
