Wine Critic Reviews

Revista Adega (91): Red wine made exclusively from Tempranillo grapes, aged for 15 months in French oak barrels (1/3 new). With good typicity, it presents ripe red and black fruits accompanied by notes of herbs and sweet spices, which are repeated on the palate, all supported by refreshing acidity and firm, sandy-textured tannins. Structured but also harmonious and fluid, it has a juicy and persistent finish, with touches of plums, licorice, balsamic, cocoa, and earthy notes. Alcohol 14.5%.

Guia Penin (92): Color: cherry, purple rim. Aroma: red berry notes, spicy, black fruit, ripe fruit, prominent oak. Flavour: flavourful, fruity, spicy, toasty, slightly dry, soft tannins.
