Carries the air of earth and baked raspberry - like you'd find in a baked muffin; fruit, yet not sweet. Feels lighter across the palate, at least initially, before a darker manifestation sets in. Suggestions of black pepper and clove, a carry of decent length. Pretty rugged, gutsy, not without conviction.

The wine is made from Tempranillo and is about as generous and fruit driven as you can get. Glossy plum with some riper raisin has a Christmas cake like spice on the nose. The palate shows more ripe red cherry fruit that has a plushness to it before a sweeping line of acidity and compact but drying tannin take hold of the mid palate. The finish is a more subtle experience that has taut acidity pulling along red cherry fruit that will no doubt take on some more earthen influence in the coming years.
