Tasting Notes
Pure Tempranillo. Chocolate and some beeswax, round on the palate and very much aimed at crumbly pressure, correct to good in precision, slightly grainy and in traces greenish tannin on a very soft basis, but at the same time the alcohol is not excessive and seems well integrated, the finish aromas show herbs and fresh fruit. A successful attempt by a large winery in a hypermodern style, even with mineral notes.
