Community Tasting Note

Eudemis Likes this wine:
October 16, 2022 - 14% alcohol. Tempranillo with a small amount of G (10% or less). Cork of medium length but of top quality. Deep colour all the way to the rim, very bright with a youthful purple hue at the pouring stage.
Very good nose, refined and completely free of oak (hurrah!). Red fruited in the mouth with cherries and red plums; very smooth but not without grip.
Still a bit burly, needs time to quieten down; vg potential.
This shows what Tempranillo can achieve when it is freed of its usual oak straight jacket.3,217 views

Be that as it may, I perceive no new oak either on the nose or on the palate. -
