Tasting Notes

(100% tempranillo): Opaque purple. A hypnotic bouquet evokes blackberry, blueberry, Indian spices and incense, with a smoky note in the background. Smooth, palate-coating black and blue fruit flavors show superb energy and clarity. As rich as this is, it's also balanced and focused; the finish is sweet, sappy and extremely long. I find this pretty irresistible right now.
