75% Tinto Fino, 25% Cabernet Sauvignon. An incredible aromatic bombshell impact. Rolls round the mouth with its massive black fruit. In 2013, so complex and velvety. Black cherries, liquorice and wine gums. Terrific. Another bottle was all spicy complexity and aromatic fireworks. Serena Sutcliffe, MW
