Tasting Notes

Vinous Josh Raynolds - 01 Nov 11
(100% tempranillo): Deep ruby. Red berries, Asian spices and candied flowers on the nose, with building suggestions of exotic oak and cola. Broad, sweet and generous, with smoky oak tones and good tangy lift giving energy to the wine. Firmly structured but not at all hard. The tangy, lingering finish features silky tannins.
