“Deep garnet with purple reflections and a broad ochre rim. Dark wild fruits of the forest fruit underlaid with fine wood savouriness, delicate hints of mint and thyme, some bitter chocolate and pepper: a multi-faceted bouquet. Complex, tightly meshed palate with dark berries and ripe sweet cherry. With powerful, vivid, supporting tannins, it is mineral and long-lasting. Still very youthful, the cassis of the Cabernet Sauvignon component becomes somewhat apparent on the finish. A wine from an outstanding year for Rioja, which will continue to grow significantly with a few years of bottle age.”
