    100% Tempranillo, Maceration-fermentation with the skins for at least 15 days at a maximum temperature of 28ºC. Minimum ageing between oak cask and bottle of three years, at least one of which in French and American oak cask. Medium red in color and showing dried red tea notes, spice box, subtle dark cherry notes and on the very end, a touch of charred wood. In the mouth, the wine is bright, with extremely fine tannins and an over kilter finish. The acidity come into the mouth, darts past the mid palate and lightly caresses the back palate, leaving you with a disjointed tangy sensation that feel off. Not my cup of tea. 2/5

    Great red color again though very light intensity. Dirty barn nose with apple peal and cobwebs in my glass. In the mouth this wine is gross. Not corked, but it has to be flawed. NR (flawed)
