A bright, lively expression of Tempranillo that is focused on black currant, citrus like acidity and hints of dill and sweet brown spice. There’s some backbone here that a few years of cellaring will tame into an enticing fruit and spice driven wine that retains some youthful character. Very food friendly — try it with grilled beef or a bold sausage platter.
