98 Points - Wine Enthusiast

Varietals: 86% Tempranillo, 10% Cabernet Sauvignon, 4% Graciano

Tasting Notes: Intensely scented nose with hints of blueberrie, red plum, thyme, cedar and black pepper. Splendid palate, wide, welldefined with a long juicy finish. Seductive match of strength and finesse. 

Alcohol: 14.5%

Own Single Vineyard: A selection of the best grapes available from our 9-hectare (22 acres) single vineyard called Canajas, located at 465 m altitude and planted in 1950. Its soil is mainly iron-clay with a stony topsoil, which favours optimal ripening. After veraison, crop-thinning is carried out to limit production up to 1 kg per vine, selecting bunches with small, concentrated berries.

Aeging: 20 months in Allier French oak barrels and 6 months in concrete vats before bottling

Pairing: Blue duck breast with boletus and fine black truffle mousse, blackberries and red wine sorbet. Fluid 85 dark chocolate cake, crunchy pistachio and raspberry praline. Truffled cheese cream on a blueberry coulis.
