Despite it's status as a vin joven (young wine) it is made with great care and benefits from some ageing in both barrel and bottle. The wine is ruby in colour, having lost the purple intensity of extreme youth and the palate has rich jammy fruits with slight hints of sweetness, vanilla and spice on the finish, evidence of the 10 months it has spent in new American oak.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlease drink responsibly: The UK Chief Medical Officers recommend adults do not regularly drink more than 14 units per week.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWine of Spain.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCountry of origin: Spain.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eServe between 16 and 17ºC.
