Inky-dark in the glass, this is described by Juan Carlos as having a ‘Mediterranean’ personality. It lies directly opposite Valdeginés but benefits from the afternoon sun, making for a more forthright, muscular style. The nose has a certain meatiness and a herbal accent – thyme, and liquorice. The palate is mouth-filling and impressively potent, with powerful, yet marvellously fruit-coated tannins. As always, this needs bottle age, but will repay it handsomely.

The palate is sweet on entry, with beautifully coated tannins, layered flavours which are both intense and rich. There is a lovely freshness and purity, refined concentration and richness to the finish.
