A blend of 89% Tempranillo, 7% Mazuelo and 4% Graciano matured for 17 months in American oak barrels. Deep dark red in colour with black tinged edges and a dark red hue. Pronounced ripe black cherry and liquorice aromas engulf the nostrils followed by vanillin oak, earthy mocha and spice notes. The rich, mid weighted palate features a classic old school Rioja flavour profile of dark to black cherries, dark chocolate, vanillin oak, earth and spicy mocha. Ripe polished tannins with a lingering spicy mocha, vanillin oak and earth finish.
Drink over the next 2-3 years.
