Tasting profile
A full-bodied Tempranillo with a strong, balsamic-tinged nose, well-integrated oak, and a complex, spicy core lifted by tobacco and red-fruit notes. Silky and smooth with balanced tannins and a long finish, it drinks surprisingly mature for its youth, especially after a little air.
Synthesized from 419Vivino reviewers' tasting notes for this bottle.
What reviewers say
“Lovely full bodied wine. It is young but if you air it it’s perfectly drinkable now. Strong nose and deep red colour. Goes well with red meat.”
From a top-rated Vivino review for this bottle.
Summary
Color is a rich robe of bright and clean ruby-red. Deep and elegant nose. Exceptionally fruity, with aromas of ripe black fruit. This complex wine has spiced, mentholated and mineral notes as well. Full-flavored in the mouth, this wine is voluptuous but also maintains a freshness.

How the score was built
We compare the reviewers of this bottle against every other wine those same people reviewed. Each review is scored relative to the reviewer's own baseline — four stars from someone who hands out fives means something very different from four stars from someone who rarely goes above three. Every reviewer then counts the same, so the result is a calibrated consensus rather than a star average.

- In-cohort percentile
- The same comparison narrowed to its cohort — wines of the same type from the same country. A Chilean red is judged against Chilean reds, not against Champagne. Ranked against Red · Spain (435 wines).
- AI-adjusted percentile
- The same reviewer-normalized score, corrected for how much confidence the sample supports: thin samples are pulled toward the corpus average. Each wine keeps the share n / (n + 53) of its measured distance from the average, where n is its calibrated-reviewer count, and the result is ranked on the same scale as the global percentile.53 is the median sample size across everything we rank. Here n is 419.
