Traditionally vinified in small open-top fermenters for 10 days. Aged for 16 months in large format French and Hungarian oak vats and puncheons, 20% of which were new.
Highly perfumed wine, vibrant and complex with sweet black cherries, sarsaparilla, root beer, galangal, mace, cinnamon, star anise and red licorice. Juicy, plush and supple, with he persistence of the tannins being the signature.
As for cellaring, you could go for five but give it seven if you can stop yourself drinking it immediately.
10 days in small open fermenters, matured for 12 months in large-format French and Hungarian vats and puncheons (20% new). The varietal red and black cherry trademark of tempranillo pours out of the glass as soon as you give it even a cursory swirl. Then comes the palate, leaving little more to say, which is just as well when the tannins jump on you for a free ride to the finish, brushing off any complaints with a Spanish flick of the wrist.
