91% #tempranillo, 8% Graciano, 1% Garnacha
In the glass this Rioja shows a dark ruby red color.
In the nose beautiful interwoven mix of earth, juicy dark fruit, ripe red berry, cherries with a spicy accent.
On the palate a velvety texture with a certain margin of meatiness in the basement. Accessible and yet still young structure.
