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)

Tasted in August 2020. Deep color; the nose offers red fruit aromas that are more appealing than the palate, which lacks intensity. Smooth on the palate.

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