Medium intensity plums, oak and some herbal notes on the nose. Tanins are still present but very fine now, more dark fruits and dark chocolate giving a slightly unpleasant bitterness. Overall it is dominated by oak and alcohol, with a medium acidity This wine is still developing, although I am not certain that the flavours it has are going to create anything of real interest. Disappointing.

Abadia Retuerta Tasting (Bodega Santa Cecilia - Madrid): Dark crimson colour Chocolate aromas at first giving some complexity. Merlot is there, opulently of plums. Textbook RdD nose to me. Tamed tannins in your palate, dry and pretty acid. Not my kind of.
Color carmesí profundo. Al principio aromas a chocolate aportando algo de complejidad. Opulenta, la Merlot está ahí con sus ciruelas. Una nariz a Ribera. Taninos domados en tu boca, seca y bien ácida. No es de mi gusto.

- Garnet color with medium forming legs. It's in total harmony with a medium/full body. Oily texture with a medium finish.
