VARIETAL: 100% Tempranillo. Grapes from 30-year-old vines.

AGING: 12 months in new barrels (60% French Allier oak, 40% American oak.)

COLOR: Very densely saturated in hue, with intense cardinal red and vivid purple tones. Glossy with good clarity.

NOSE: Extremely elegant, straightforward nose with good intensity. Redcurrant, raspberry and blackberry-type varietal aromas of black and red fruit. Mineral tones with menthol hints of sage and floral touches of violets. Barrel-aging lends liquorice toor nuances mingling with lactone and black pepper notes, with dark-roasted coffee undertones.

TASTE: Powerful, expressive and sinewy. Good lively tannins giving way to well-balanced notes of black fruits, smoky subtle-oak toastiness, coffee, liquorice and dark-roated characters. Excellent powerful backbone of tannins, with a long, persistent and elegant finish.

Temperature for consumption: 17–18°C

Recommended with dishes such as meats, cured and semi-cured cheeses and pätés.
