Presented to us at the winery as a blend of Tempranillo and Cabernet Sauvignon (by exceptional derogation to the Appellation). Remarkably dense and French style, with deep mature cassis and blackberries, noble leather, prune, chocolate, mokka. Well structured and complex. If it wasn't commanding an exorbitant price (Eur 82) I would have increased the score.

A wine targeting the gastronomy, trying to strike a balance between character and affordability. Expressive, mature red fruit, cedar, leather, liquorice and roast aromas. A bit too much wood for my taste, but overall enjoyable.

Well structured and balanced. Apple, quince, subtle citric tones, framed by honey and vanilla aromas in the background.
