This wine is the flagship product of the estate's signature wines and is celebrated by critics as "outstanding in its complexity and exceptional character." It consists of 80% Tempranillo and 20% Graciano, vines that were planted in 1975 on sandy-limestone slopes. The soil is a mixture of sand and gravel. The harvest was delayed due to cold weather, but the maturation was excellent.
On the nose, it presents aromas of ripe black fruits (blackberries, plums), eucalyptus, vanilla, spices, toasty notes, chocolate, and mineral undertones. On the palate, it is full-bodied, warm, and silky, with ripe tannins that provide structure. The long finish and mineral nuances make it particularly special.
An elegant wine with a velvety body, notes of vanilla, nuts, black pepper, and plum.
