Tasting Notes

Vinous Josh Raynolds - 01 Sep 14
(all tempranillo): Inky ruby. Explosive blackberry, cherry liqueur and incense scents show excellent purity and a suave, lively mineral topnote. Broad, deep and velvety, offering palate-staining dark berry and bitter cherry flavors complemented by suggestions of licorice, cola and spicecake. There's lots going on here already but this still is a baby. Finishes with building intensity and superb length, leaving notes of boysenberry and smoky minerals behind. I'd love to see how this wine ages.
