This is a monster of a wine and is so powerful that you might struggle to match food with it.
But it is a fantastic wine that can be stored for a long long time or you can drink it now.
90% Tempranillo or Tinto del Pais as this version of the grape is called in Castilla y Leon. The remaining 10% is Syrah.
The colour of the wine is intense deep blue red, already there you understand that this is a different animal.
On the nose it is very complex packed with lots of dark fruit, plum, coffee, chocolate and spices. Wonderful stuff!
The taste is big, solid, long, velvet tannins, soft, elegant and smooth. Massive big bodied wine that unfortunately blows most food away.
Its probably just best on its own.
