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. Fermentation in whole grape clusters macerated according to the lasagna method. Ready to drink now or to cellar.” – James Suckling
