This blend of 97% Tempranillo and 3% Mazuelo has a fresh, medium-high to highly aromatic nose of red cherry, sweet oak spice, coconut, vanilla, and herbs. On the full-bodied palate it has fresh acidity and a crunchy mouthfeel with lovely, slightly desiccated red cherry, floral, coconut, and herbal flavours Ripe tannins are integrating nicely, while savoury coconut notes linger on the finish, with excellent length. Tasted Sept. 2023.
