Tasting Notes

Vinous Josh Raynolds - 01 Sep 13
(all tempranillo): Inky ruby. A complex, intensely perfumed bouquet evokes red and dark berry preserves, smoky Indian spices, vanilla and pipe tobacco. Sweet and expansive on the palate, offering black raspberry, cherry-cola and spicecake flavors and a jolt of tangy acidity. This fleshy, vibrant wine finishes with strong energy, supple tannins and superb persistence.
