Served with friends to accompany Italian chicken. There was some obvious sediment, so opened and decanted 1 hour. Medium garnet colour. This was a good wine and it went well with the chicken, though I think it was overshadowed by the Ribera which I served alongside. I felt it was a little lacking in body and fruit, though it was certainly smooth and slipped down easily. Maybe it was better a couple of years back? Drink any remaining.

Focused, concentrated profile with rich cherries, chocolate, grain leather nicely balanced in surprisingly smooth fashion. A little tightness reflected the road ahead for this wine. Revisit in 5 years.

Bright purple in colour! Very young and fresh! I think it needs time to develop! Unless you want a very refreshing drink! A wine with promise!
