James Suckling
"A salivating vintage, a guaranteed pleasure!"
"Lots of Morello cherries here, as well as black plums, blackberries and a citrus character that brings freshness. Full-bodied with explosive black fruit, but just the right combination of firm tannins to give that structure." (James Suckling)

About the wine:
Lots of Morello cherries here, as well as black plums, blackberries and a citrus character that brings freshness. Full-bodied with explosive black fruit, but just the right combination of firm tannins to give that structure. Drink in 2021.

Good concentration, expressive nose, very good value for money. A Spanish wine with character, digestible and very pleasant to drink.
