Dried cherry, leather, mushrooms, forest floor, dill and some faint oxidated notes on the developed nose. The medium-bodied palate continues with good acidity and dried fruit. Long finish with leather and acids. Tannins are resolved almost completely. As expected, very tertiary at this point, with little primary fruit remaining. But retains still a good structure and rather complex aromatics, making this still enjoyable and drinkable, and surprisingly good with food.

Up to 40% of Garnacha in the blend. Less oak aging (3-4 years which was a lot less as opposed to other wines at that time). Crianza style. Meant to be enjoyed young. Wet cloth, iron. Light body. Still surprised how well it keeps the age though.
