Round, dry, supple and smooth palate with good acidity. Black cherry, prune, meaty, leather, tobacco, licorice, savoury, light Band-Aid, and resin flavours. A very solid, balanced tempranillo style with light tannins that shows a bit of both newer and traditional winemaking in the area. Drink now and over the next five years.
