Plush and harmonious, this red is alluring yet subtle, with intense flavors backed by an impressive structure. Look for black currant, cocoa, cigar box and mineral notes now, and expect further complexity as this evolves. Tempranillo, Mazuelo and Graciano. After fermentation in oak vats the wine is aged for 22 months in American oak vats and 16 months in new Allier oak, fined with egg whites and bottled unfiltered.
