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