Still retaining it's richness and freshness at this point in time. Wouldn't hold on to it for much longer however, may be past it's best in a few months. Excellent drinking now.

Really enjoyable wine. Decanted for about an hour prior. Pronounced but not overbearing nose, quite youthful, rich red fruit and a distinctive aroma of pine cone. On the palate it's medium + bodied, has medium acidity and finish. The alcohol is well balanced. There is a lot of sweet spice flavours. Quality is very good and there is potiental for further development. A general comment is that the wine is clean, fresh, generally well made but very modern and is quite extracted. How recognisable as a spainish wine this would be in a blind tasting is questionable. That said, it's still a thoroughly enjoyable wine.

Clean and fresh, medium intensity on the nose. Floral and tropical fruit aromas. Very (almost too) youthful. Dry and medium bodied on the palate. Medium plus acidity. Densely packed palate. Juicy pineapple, lime, apple. Long finish. Excellent quality, well balanced. PQR is spot on with this wine, worth every penny. A long road ahead of this wine, it will only get better.
