"Berries and chocolate with some cedar and vanilla. Full-bodied, but tight and reserved, with firm tannins and a long, fresh finish. Tempranillo. It can be drunk now, but a year or two of bottle age will mellow it even more." (James Suckling 2021). To be shared in good company, around a nice prime rib!
