Dry red fruits with developed aromas of licorice, cedar box, leather. Big powerful fruity texture and soft finish.
Seeing Gold in this Spanish red, James Franklin of Fenwick loved its ‘cracking nose of ripe, delicate fruits and cured ham, with soft warming spice and jammy rich notes on the palate', while team leader Sam Caporn MW thought it ‘characterful, with tight black fruit and nice balance, plums, cassis and bramble fruit'. ‘Crushed-velvet tannins, wet earth and leather' combined with ‘dark fruit and black pepper' sealed the deal for Woodhead 17's James Fryer.

2013 Vintage
Tasted: Dec 2017
Medium to deep ruby red colour. Generous nose showing ripe dark fruit, tobacco, dry spices and some floral notes. The palate is still youthful and tight with a tannic presence, rather full with generous sweet fruit and good length, and a hint of astringency on the finish. Should develop, just needing some more time to open.
