"Extremely balsamic, Arrocal 2012 presents aromas of mint, even eucalyptus, intertwined with black and red berries and lots of spicy aromas. The palate is medium-bodied, with fine, slightly dusty tannins, in good balance. This 100% Tempranillo was aged in barrels for 1 year. (Wine Advocate 2015 - Robert Parker)

Drunk in August 2020. Dark color, red fruit nose more flattering than the palate, which lacks intensity. Smooth on the palate.

Soft tannins and aromas of red and black fruits (blackberries). Another excellent Spanish wine.
