Food pairing: grilled steak
A blend of 75% Tempranillo, 20% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Merlot.
Very dark garnet with a purple rim. Aromas of black cherry, spice and vanilla. The wine has concentrated black cherry and currant flavors with black pepper, spice and nicely integrated tannins with a long finish. A nicely balanced and elegant expression of Tempranillo that I find delicious for current drinking but will reward another 4 or 5 years of cellaring. Like it's little brother Rívola, this wine shows quite a bit of oak upon opening which nicely settles down into a supporting role once aerated. Decant before serving.
