Blend of 90% Tempranillo & 10% Graciano. It's open, fragrant, and intensely aromatic w/ such an attractive nose of fresh & dried red cherry and floral, plus sweet baking spices, cinnamon, vanilla & savoury cedary & earth undertones adding further complexity. It's medium-full bodied on the dry palate w/ lovely fresh & dried red cherry & floral, coconut, sandalwood & oak spice flavours w/ some tangy notes. It has fresh acidity & well-structured, gently grippy tannins. Savoury, earthy & cedary w/ touches of graphite lingering on the long, very satisfying finish. Tasted Mar. 2023. Score: 92+ pts
