Natalie's Score: 91/100

A lovely full-bodied and mature mostly Tempranillo red wine (with some Graciano and Mazuelo). Earthy with dried herb and dried fruit aromas on the nose. Spicy with leather, dried fruit and tobacco leaf flavours on the palate. The time has come to drink this wine. Pair with game roasts and grilled game sausages.

Food pairings: wild boar roast, grilled venison steak, roast pheasant.
