James Suckling, 93 Points 

"A firm, tannic red with blackberry and walnut character on both the nose and palate. It’s full-bodied and chewy with a long, flavorful finish. Needs bottle age to soften. Try after 2022." 

Wine Spectator, 91 Points 

"A fresh and elegant red, which deftly knits sinewy tannins with roasted black plum, graphite and black cherry flavors and savory accents of beef bouillon, smoke and tobacco. Lingering and chewy finish. Tempranillo, Graciano, Mazuelo and Garnacha. Drink now." 

Decanter, 90 Points 

"Black cherry, ripe strawberry, floral and toasty nose. The palate offers completely integrated oak, silky, round tannins and forest fruit flavours. A lovely wine. Blend: 85% Tempranillo, 10% Graciano, 5% Mazuelo." 

Winemaker Notes: 

"Deep cherry red in color with reddish hints. On the nose there is a perfect balance between wild berries such as blackberries, raspberries, currants, blueberries and aromas from the barrels, balsamic, licorice, pepper, cocoa and light sweet toffee notes. The palate reveals a wine characterized by its elegance, depth of flavor and fine, velvety tannins. The finish is long and complex." 

Alcohol: 14.5%
