Robert Parker

“Extremely aromatic, the 2012 Arrocal offers aromas of mint and even eucalyptus, intertwined with black and red berries and plenty of spicy notes. On the palate, it is medium-bodied, with fine, slightly dusty tannins, and well-balanced. This 100% Tempranillo was aged in barrels for one year. ” (Wine Advocate 2015 - Robert Parker)
