Description

James Suckling: “Dark cherries and plums with fresh thyme and roasted spices. Medium-bodied with fine-tuned and polished tannins. Fruity, with a mixture of red and black cherries, delivered in an elegant palate with a chalky-textured frame. Tempranillo. Vegan. Quite drinkable now.” 91 Points

Cherry red. Aromas of ripe red fruits (raspberries, blackcurrants), spicy notes (vanilla, light brown), red licorice and fine nuances of toasted wood. Ripe tannins that give a solid structure highlights. Acidity makes it lively and still has a long life ahead of it. Good fruit weight on the trip and long endurance. Perfect for Mediterranean cuisine, fried, grilled vegetables, paella, rice, pasta, fish in tomato sauce, ham and sausages, pâtés, beef carpaccio, soft cheeses. Aged steaks and venison, grilled pork chops, lamb kebabs, along with tomato-based dishes.
