Disappointing at first as the palate was a bit disjointed. After a couple hours in the decanter, this wine come alive. The palate comes into balance with a nice long tangy finish driven by nice tannins. The nose also sings with minty tones that continue to evolve. This is a wine that you smell and micro sip towards the end to savior the complexity.

Very woody on the nose. Heavy fruit, a bit of stable / leather. Taste: black cherries. Lingering but thin and acrid after-taste. Nice for a Spaniard - less muscular than the average

Fruit and oak very well integrated. On the palate, consistently excellent front to end. A definite wow wine.

Very nice taste but need to ensure to open hours before drinking.
