"Notes of ripe fruit. Aromas of sarsaparilla and blackcurrant lead to a round, rich palate. Ripe, silky tannins on the finish. Drink now. (James Suckling) Planted at altitude on clay-limestone soils, old vines of Tempranillo, Viura and Graciano give here a fresh wine with spicy red and black fruit aromas. The palate is both powerful and silky, with well-structured tannins. Discover it now!
