The earthy, tarry, leathery bouquet of this deep burgundy-hued wine whisks you to Europe while the initially sweet, slightly jammy fruit suggests a hot climate. It?s a little sappy mid palate with a firm feel to the dry tannins, an underlying gamey savouriness and a peppery bite to finish where the dark jammy sweetness re-emerges to linger. Made from 100% tempranillo with 24 months in American oak, this is a good example of a regional style that will continue to develop in the cellar.
