Simple yet really good. Varietal warm bitumen/dried fig/honey/black fruit Monastrell, with a juicy-jubey touch up from Syrah. Very silky with decent length and a nice tapered palate to a finish where the fruit tannins live. |

Figs, adobe, woody dark spices and just a touch of typical honey-molasses in a nose that’s high, wide and open-smelling, just like its growing situation, 800 metres up in the dry inland sierras of Alicante. Tannins and acid themselves are dry, savoury, and … succulent! Luxury material at pedestrian prices, this is soooo stylish, delicious and great value. Presents for drinking right now, and probably has 10 years meaningful cellar time ahead of it. |

This is delicious. Smells of blueberry and cowhide, with lovely spice and sweet, supple ripe tannins. Fresh finish with good acidity. Great balance. 13% alcohol, and 70 grams/litre residual sugar. |
