Bodegas Cerrolaza
RED
100 % TEMPRANILLO

Tasting Notes

Ruby in colour, with brick-red glints, very intense, clean and bright. Of great intense, aromatic complexity, it presents hints of ripe fruit proper of the varietal Tempranillo in perfect balance with lingering oaky, vanilla and toffee aromas from the toast of the cask. On the palate it’s powerful and long, with a perfect balance between the fruit flavours and the palatable tannins that round it out. Excellent, lingering aftertaste with balsamic hints.
