Beronia Tempranillo Elaboración Especial 2019

Dark berries on the nose with sweet tobacco and fresh herbs, such as bay leaf. Medium-bodied with silky, savory tannins and a black-olive and berry aftertaste. Hints of American oak. Drink now.

Modern in style, with malolactic in barrel and plenty of ripe, glossy Tempranillo fruit, this is typically well-judged, stylish stuff from Matías Calleja. Aged in American barrels for five months, it's fruit rather than oak-dominated, with subtle reduction and fine-boned tannins. 2023-26
