Superb mature 100% Tempranillo (Aragones) powerhouse elevated on french oak. Bottled in 2008. Deep purple garnet, viscous @ 14.5% abv. Upon opening aromas of black fruit, dates, vanilla and leather, and wood notes emanate. Dry, medium(-)-medium acidity, medium tannin, high alcohol and full body. Massive attack of black plum, prunes, black cherry, leather, vanilla, wood notes, all comfortably balanced by acidity. Very long finish with bittersweet notes framed by supple and ripe tannins. A big wine yet elegant. Decant, contains ample deposit.,

Deep garnet colour, approaching tawny. Nose of leather, sun-dried tomatoes and a hint of dates. There’s some slight herb as well. Smooth and medium bodied with fading tannins. The finish is not strong and long, but it lingers softly. I can’t imagine that this will get any better and it likely on the way down hill. Still very enjoyable, though.

Très beau vin avec une teinte orangé. Gout de prune et cuir. Wow pour le prix !
