  Coupage de Tempranillo, Graciano y Mazuelo (90-7-3%) con una crianza de 30 meses en roble americano. Alc. 14% vol. En copa presenta un color rojo rubí de capa media-alta, ribete teja. Atractiva nariz de cedro, chocolate, vainilla, tabaco, frutas rojas y negras maduras. En boca tiene cierto volumen y buena intensidad, acidez media, taninos pulidos y final medio-largo. Buen conjunto, expresivo y armonioso, de una estante media entre los GR de Rioja.

  Vibrant ruby color. A complex aromatic display of juicy raspberries, red cherries, with rhubarb, spiced tea, smoky earth and tar, charcoal and graphite vibes, and a nice floral potpourri thing going on, too. The palate has solid grip with fine-grained tannins, supporting ripe black cherries and raspberry jam. There’s a lovely blend of mulling spices, tobacco, spicy mint, warm clay, loamy earth, hints of oak. Stays fresh throughout, with all sorts of pretty nuances to coax out, and lingering minerality and floral tones on the finish. Ready to go now, but I’d bury a few and forget about them for five or six. From 60+ year-old vines, aged 30 months in American oak.
