"A mouthwatering vintage—a guaranteed treat!"

“Plenty of sour cherries here, along with black plums, blackberries, and a citrus note that adds freshness. Full-bodied with explosive dark fruit, but just the right amount of firm tannins to provide structure.” (James Suckling)

About wine:

Plenty of sour cherries here, along with black plums, blackberries, and a citrus note that adds freshness. Full-bodied with explosive black fruit, but just the right balance of firm tannins to provide structure. Best enjoyed in 2021.

Review by Mr. OLIVIER H. Posted on August 30, 2020

Well-structured, with an expressive bouquet and excellent value for money. A Spanish wine with character, easy to drink, and very enjoyable.
