TASTING NOTE
Color bright, deep cherry-red, and iris-purple on rim. Presents in the nose, an uplifting aroma, dominated by blackberry compote, licorice, and balsamic oak with spices and milky and roasted hints. It is complex, intense, and structured, yet fresh right across the palate.
Harmony: An iconic wine linked to our heritage, it is a versatile companion to beef steaks, stews, and game, a nod to the hunting background of the Sanz-Pastor family, the estate’s last residents prior to Barón de Ley’sfoundation.
