De color rubí rojizo de capa media, claro, brillante, limpio. Reflejos ambarinos. Borde amplio, anaranjado.
Nariz bien perfilada, amplio, maduro, lleno de fruta roja confitada y un deje licoroso que nos trae una batería de endrinas maceradas, granada, madroños, guindas, escarchados. Gran expresión de garnacha reducida y herbáceos (tomate seco, flores marchitas, pétalos) con una discreta pátina de maderas envinadas de fondo. Sencillo, de media intensidad, discreto, bien resuelto.
En boca es similar a todo a lo ya visto. Muy maduro, grueso, con un interesante matiz de dulcedumbre sobre una cantidad desbordante de especias, de fruta, guindas en licor, con un deje amargoso, casi vegetal. Lleno, con suficiente energía y una buena acidez. Sigue manteniéndose a un nivel aceptable. Correcto.

60% garnacha, 35% tempranillo, 5% graciano - 12% vol.
Permanece durante 12 meses en dépositos en los que finaliza la fermentación maloláctica y reposa antes de ser trasegado para realizar su crianza en madera. Según la cosecha reposa entre 3 y 5 años en barricas semi nuevas de roble americano de 225 litros. Un mínimo de 12 meses de guarda en botellero en los calados de la bodega antes de ser comercializado

April 3, 2011 - This has a delicate floral nose with hints of dried sweet basil, lanolin and stewed fruits.
The palate is dry and this bottle shows a fair amount of oxidization. It is obvious this is past its prime and not a bottle problem. The wine holds together for a few minutes with focused garden berry fruit, Darjeeling flavors and toasted cinnamon. The finish is gorgeous with tomato leaf, caramel and chocolate notes matching the vibrancy of the solid acidity.
After a few minutes a light sherried note became much more prominent as the wine fell apart.
