Fragrant red cherry and raspberry impress on the nose accented by dark cocoa, anise and mint leaf. A modestly jammy palate of ripe briarberry and dried cranberry is balanced nicely with moderate acidity and soft tannins. Needs a 30 minute decant to fully open up but this one drinks way above its price. A new favorite Tempranillo.

I might agree with another note and say this is the best Tempranillo I've ever had. Its only issue is that at 14.5%, it's quite weighty. Underneath that oak and vanilla and jammy fruit is an elegant, impeccably balanced wine. The acidity and tannins are in total harmony, giving it excellent structure. Had it not been as hot, I would have given at least several more points, but even as is, it's so good that I cannot deny giving it at least 90.
