  A quaffer wine, lush, juicy and bold with balanced tannins and acidity. Made from a blend of 75% Tempranillo, 11% CS, 11% Syrah and 3% Merlot, aged for 12 months in FR & US oak barrels, 75% new. Deep ruby colour. Medium+ intensity aroma of plums, leather, cherries, earth, hint of cedar. Medium+ body, bold and powerful, juicy and round structure, medium acidity, medium+ tannins.

  Nice one!! Medium purple in colour, Initially oak is nice but a bit dominant, an hour of decant helps to balance the flavours. Pretty nice on the nose already. Sweet notes of plum and vanilla. Palate then blackberry, bit of plum and nicely integrated oaky notes of vanilla and bit of coconut. Finish is absolutely harmonious and long. Drink nor by 2028. can even be enjoyed below 16 degrees, try it out. Incredible value for the money! :)

  From Alma, La Santa, Lanzarote. Ripe blackcurrant fruited nose, touch of mocha. Medium/full bodied, ripe dark fruits, soft tannins, subdued acidity, finishes a little flat. Attractive in an obvious kind of way but ultimately a bit dull.
