Deep red and plush, this shows dark berry fruit and some gaminess on the nose and palate. Quite brushy/briary. Not much tannin left, and seems to drink best right now.

After about 30 minutes of aeration really opened up, and just kept getting richer and creamier. Plenty of fruit and balanced acidity. Drinking well right now, but probably needs 3 more years to peak.

A blend of 37% Granacha, 35% Carinena, 15% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Tempranillo and 3% Syrah. Fully mature and drinks along the lines of a CNDP, but with a bit more acidity and "zing". Let it breathe for about 30 minutes to soften up. Delicious!
