    This is lightly baked and sweet on the nose, with a hint of plastic and raisin as the bouquet opens. It feels fresh and a bit sharp, with tangy red-plum and currant flavors followed by bland oak. The finish is tart and acidic.

    Murky and stewy smelling, with no vitality and overt green accents. It's a bit heavy in feel, with salsa-like flavors of tomato, tomatillo, chili pepper and herbs.

    On first take, this mature Garnacha smells of padrón peppers and green herbs, although it comes around with airing. A medium-bodied palate with high acidity tastes of herbs, sour plum and pie cherry before finishing long and with a hint of oaky toast.
