This is one of the most hedonistic red wines being made in Spain. With a dark purple color, and exotic, ostentatious aromatics reminiscent of a sexy, lavishly-oaked Pomerol, drinking this full-bodied, voluptuously-textured, silky smooth red wine is akin to drinking cherry/framboise liqueur. Made from 100% Tempranillo, from a single vineyard, it is not likely to make old bones, but for drinking over the next 5-9 years, it will prove outstanding.
