A bit over the hill with aromas of blackberries, cassis, old leather, forest floor, cedar, smoke, roasted peppers, and spices. Nice sweet dark fruit flavors on entry with balsamic notes on the mid palate, leading to a spicy and mineral finish with chewy tannins.

Sep 14th, 2021Impressive depth, concentration, and persistence, with well-integrated wood and a lovely mineral streak, on the modern side but obviously Tempranillo made with precision and class.
