A striking example of Rioja and a testament to Tempranillo production by Gonzales Byass. This special production showcases a divine and exuberant nose of black cherries, sweet vanilla cocoa and fresh tobacco alongside a dominant dark plum and blackcurrant. A sweet black pepper spice emerges over time, adding to the intrigue. The palate once again offers thick layers of fresh cocoa, alongside dark black and white pepper raspberries and plums. The finish is long, flavoursome and full of curiosity.
