Winery Review: This wine has a brick red color with a bouquet of red raspberries, spice and white pepper. The palate is incredibly concentrated and rich. The modern styles of Garnacha in Spain are continuously being perceived worldwide as wines of extraordinarily good quality. This wine is fruity, juicy and shows a great depth, ripe tannins, length but yet with wonderful elegance and lightness.

My Review: Strawberries and raspberries were apparent with oaky, creamy and buttery notes. The after taste was long and lingered for awhile on top of a dry, puckery feeling from the tannins. Bold taste with a light finish.

With/without food: I tasted this on its own without food.
