NAVAJAS |
| Deep intense purple-ruby colour. Very attractive, intense, slightly spicy, gently juicy, ripe Damson plum and black cherry purée nose with some cedary-sandalwood notes. Dry, medium bodied, nicely structured and harmonious with spicy, ripe plum-cherry purée flavours with a lingering, bright, toasty, cedar-tinged finish that has great mouthfeel and rounded tannins. Aged in a mix of French and American oak barrels for 12 months, this crowd-pleasing blend of 95% Tempranillo with 5% Mazuelo has 13.5% alcohol and 3 g/L residual sugar with lot number L-030321 on the back label. Better than the recommended best buy 2015 with 89-points that was last released on February 2, 2019. |

A Best Buy |
| TASTING NOTE: This wine is mostly Tempranillo with a splash of Mazuelo (Carignan). It's lean and focused, with bright red cherry framed by wood spice, lifted mint, vanilla and leather notes. Well-balanced and structured. Pair with grilled sausages or roast beef. |
