Ruby with pronounced fruit aromas with floral spice. On the palate flavors of juicy cherry and ripe strawberry with some cacao and dash of pepper spice. Medium tannins that became harsh after bottle was open for an hour. Medium finish ending with fruit and mineral notes. Ok value, no aging potential.

Super tasty. Had with Spanish tapas. Oak, full bodied, dark fruits. Paired with chorizo and saffron rice. Would love to have again.

Very good wine. Bonus that the empty bottle was knocked over by my cats and did not shatter
