Cherry, spice, textural.
Awesome value.
A blend of Garnacha, Tempranillo & Carinena that was matured on barrel for 24 months before substantial bottle age.
Expect sweet ripe cherries and wild black raspberry, vanilla, saddle leather and spice with grapey undertones. Great intensity on the entry with fine spice, cocoa and tobacco. The fruit has fallen off on the palate, but it is still very fresh with fine, textural tannins across the finish.
Second Review: Oct 2016
Bacon fat and black wild berries, dusty cherries and strawberry compote, smoked meat and spices with a whiff of iodine. On the palate the fruit falls secondary to earthy tones, it has cigarbox, dark cocoa nibs and espresso. Textural tannins, bright acidity and a brooding character.
