Mattinson on Tempranillo
It sees both French and American oak but its dry, savoury, nutty heart shines through. What a delicious drink. The lack of heat through the finish allows the flavour to flow out easily through the finish. Earth and iodine and nuts. It has an easy-going savouriness. Here’s a statement for you: it’s food-style wine that you actually want to drink a lot of (rather than just think you should).
91 Points.
