Tasting Notes

Vinous Josh Raynolds - 01 Sep 14
(100% tempranillo): Inky ruby. Heady, intensely perfumed aromas of red fruit preserves, smoky minerals, licorice and Asian spices. Rich, dense and sharply focused, offering intense dark fruit and floral pastille flavors lifted and sharpened by juicy acidity. Finishes with striking power and persistence, with building but sweet and harmonious tannins that meld smoothly with the wine's juicy, penetrating fruit.
