"Three bunches per vine is the rule for this top wine from Juan Luis Cañas - hence its name in Spanish - aged in new French oak and showing strapping flavours and masses of fruit concentration. Cedar wood, damson and blackberry flavours combine seductively on the palate, but give this time. 2022-30"

"A red with impressive richness and concentration with loads of ripe dark fruit and rich, smoky flavor. It’s full-bodied with round tannins and a flavorful finish. A little over-oaked, but should come around. Drink in 2021."
