Much better after being opened for 24 hrs. Aromas of black cherry, charcoal, black pepper. Big fruit but dry with assertive yet rounded taninns. Good balance, good with food.

Has to be good because it says UVA on the label. Security blankets and warm socks by the fire. Like a lover running his fingers through your hair after a long day.

Smell like a fleurie. But also cedars with some pan drippings. Raspberry, watermelon, fig, black cherry. Oozes freshness, perfectly woven interplay of acid/body/tannin. Light to medium body but loads of freshness and a beautiful touch in the cellar.

Espagne 2015. Prédominance de trempanillo, Belle couleur rouge léger, translucide, un peu comme un jeune bourgogne. En bouche, tout de même, charpenté mais équilibré.
