Belle couleur pourpre avec de légers signes d'évolution. Nez très expressif, charmeur avec beaucoup d'ampleur, mûre, griotte, graphite, boisé bien intégré. Très beau nez. Malheureusement, la bouche ne suit pas, elle est dissidente, manque d'harmonie, asséchante. Longueur courte en désaccord avec l'équilibre. Vin pour la table, inutile de garder plus longtemps. Le nez plaide pour la note finale.

Decanted 2 hours - bosky nose of wood tones and fruit opening to show some herbiness and hints of eucalyptus Smooth rich tannins on a longish palate. About spot on for the price (£18) - I'll try a longer decant with the next bottle

100% Tempranillo, a big wine even after 1 hour decant. Still seems tannic.

Nice acid-forward wine with warmth and a little depth.

Drinking very nicely. No hard edges left. Relatively one dimensional and un pretentious though.
