"Fragrantly sweet, floral aromas of red berries and sweet spices. Fresh and clean in the mouth, with mouthwatering, mineral-driven red fruit flavors. The youthfully chewy tannins are perhaps a tad drying, but this is nonetheless one of the better young Barco Reales I've tried. Another year in the bottle may help it develop more flesh and volume."

"..Tasted of roasted malt, coffee, chocolate, maybe a little vanilla, and a burnt quality, too. This is a complex and interesting flavor. Not quite as robust as most RISs, but very tasty.."
