Robert Parker

“Extremely balsamic, the 2012 Arrocal offers aromas of mint—and 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 well-balanced. This 100% Tempranillo was aged in barrels for one year. ” (Wine Advocate 2015 – Robert Parker)

Review by Mr. FREDERIC B. Posted on August 26, 2020

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