30m air for this SMG blend (48% Shiraz, 29% Mataro, 23% Grenache). Medium Garnet color. A bit shy at first, opening with time in glass. Cured meats, cherry, eucalyptus. Zesty and structured, with red and black fruit dominating the palate.

Saturated, very dark ruby color; aromatic, reduction, tar nose; cherry, tar, roasted red fruit palate with good balancing acidity; medium-plus finish 90+ points
