    Tempranillo (80%), Garnacho (15%), Mazuelo and Graciano (5%). Aged in barrel for 5 years, being racked twice per year and fined with fresh egg whites. Dark burgundy red core with a light bricking around the rim. On the nose, the wine is showing an expressive bouquet of rose, lavender, cherries and leather. I wouldn’t go so far to call it seductive, but generous all the same. In the mouth, the wine is medium bodied, with fantastic acidity that seamlessly integrates into the light tannins. This is a bright and expressive wine, perfect for a summer’s day alongside a plate of cured ham. 4/5

    Deep rust color to this wine, showing some age to it. This nose is fun, full of spices, pencil lead, minerals and spice cherry pie quality that sits in the background tempting you to draw nearer. In the mouth this wine is VERY fresh and alive with a fresh acidity and soft mouthfeel. Really a succulent wine that draws you back and begs you to pair it with lamb. Dusty notes sneak in but never seem to rain on the freshness of the scene. Not your typical wine though I wish it were. 4.5/5
