This Tempranillo-dominated red (it includes 25% Graciano) is oaky and drying, with cinnamon and basic red-fruit aromas on the bouquet. The palate is tannic and solid, with raspberry, plum and spice. Turns increasingly oaky toward the end, with a rush of butter. Round and generally well balanced, yet nothing out of the ordinary.
