Wine critic tasting note: (vintage 2024) “This wine presents herbaceous aromas, with notes of truffle, red fruits and licorice, as well as a subtle herbal touch. Medium to full-bodied, this vintage reveals great finesse and a beautiful complexity, with silky tannins and a delicate fruity expression. It nevertheless retains its roundness and expressiveness, with character, savory complexity and a long finish. Blend of 49% Grenache from Badarán and Camprovín, 48% Tempranillo from Elvillar and 3% white grape varieties. Whole-cluster fermentation macerated according to the lasagna method. To be enjoyed now or aged.” – James Suckling
