Description

Conclusion

A classic Tempranillo medley of ripe cherry and plum. Secondary characters include savoury hints of red liquorice and leather. Subtle vanilla from restrained oak use allow for fruit purity and expression. Emerging characters in the wine have recently brought an irresistible lift of cherry cola and cocoa nib.
