100% Tempranillo. The fragrant, medium-high to highly aromatic nose offers attractive aromas of sandalwood, elegant spices, leather, red & black cherry and coconut. On the rich, medium-full bodied palate, it shows very good concentration with delicious sandalwood, earthy wood spices, leather, coconut, red & black cherry, raspberry, and licorice flavours. It has fresh, well-balanced acidity and supple, still-grippy tannins that will continue to soften and integrate with time in the cellar. The sandalwood, oak spice, and earthen notes linger through to the long, savoury finish. Tasted Feb. 2023.

This was a nice wine. Subtle aromas of leather. Nice tasting. It does need to breath for about 30 minutes because it is very tannic right after you open it.

I had this with cheese and salami. I enjoyed it more with that salami.

Nice wine, but I was hoping for a little more character. I did not get the same experience that others reviewed this with.
