Syrah and Carinena. Slightly oxidative sweet cherry note, depth and weight, sweet fruit (amarena cherries) matched by crisp acidity and ripe tannins, good length.
Ambre. Not unlike Rivesaltes - obviously. Sweet, hint of nuts, fresh fruit, touch of caramel, lively and elegant, juicy, only off-dry, tangy acidity, good length.

Quite dry and with grapefruit bitters, not very attractive on its own or at ease with itself but cuts very well through the fattiness of the sardine.
