Tasting Notes
A bad year for Merlot, therefore 100 percent Tempranillo. Blueberry, very young and closed, tree resin. Chewy, medium-dense, with creaminess and juiciness in the background, lots of lime, first ripe aromas on the finish, and this on a soft background. Lime-mineral and full-bodied on a soft base, medium length, noticeable alcohol.
